Hi
Me again. (Skip). I'm still looking to purchase a Pentax SLR; AF and AE with
manual overide, and motor drive. Dave Scott from this group was nice enough
to put me onto KEH's used stuff, but then that opened up a whole new world
of choices, choices, choices.......
Question: KEH has used Pentax SF10/SF7 bodies, in excellent condition, for
just over a c-note. ($100.) These cameras seem to have everything I'm
looking for; AF, four AE metering modes, motor drive, 1/2000 speed, built-in
flash...
The only thing I'm not sure about from the write-up is their lens
capability? Do they accept the newer AF lenses? The write-up says KAF
bayonet lens mount, (SMC-F). K and KA lenses accepted with loss of
auto-focus...?
Can anyone give me some pros and cons on this camera? It seems to have
almost everything the ZX30/50's have, including an optional AA battery grip
and also a metal lens mount. (So why then is it so inexpensive? Performance
problems?)
Any help you can give here would be appreciated...
Another question, although not related to Pentax. I'm coming back to more
serious photography after being years away from it. I remember Yashica as
being a pretty good brand, but when I look at their stuff now, such as the
the 300AF or MP109 SLR's, their stuff (new) seems very very cheap. Has their
quality disappeared? (I know they still accept the Contax lenses..)
Any opinions on Yashica here?
Thanks,
Skip
