Hello Petter
Pentax KM is a nice camera, if you can live with the fact that the
exposure-meter is switched on when you remove the lens-cap. US$70 seems as a
good price if it is working. I had the opportunity to buy one this summer,
but the short shutter-speeds was not OK, so I didn't bought it.
Petter,
I'm not one for collecting like a lot of guys here, but I do know one thing,
$70 is sort of a drop in the bucket -- if you really want it. If it's bad,
well, you didn't pay a fortune for it.

What you are seeing with used Canons on the used market is people who have
gone autofocus from manual focus. Pentax and Nikon are still backward
