Hello. I would like to comment on Pentax equipment. I have been using Pentax cameras and lenses for a while now. I have an MX, LX, and PZ-1P. Oh, an old K1000. I have had a couple of problems. I had the sticky mirror thing with the LX. Got it fixed and never had a problem with it again. I have had a problem rewinding film with the PZ-1P and sent it to Pentax (under warranty) and it is fine now. Actually it may have been partially my fault. I use the manual rewind function and was not holding the button down for the entire time it was rewinding. Once I left my MX out in the rain (by accident of course) for 15 minutes. That ruined the film in the camera, but the camera still works. I bought a AF500FTZ and combined with the PZ-1P, I cannot think of a better combination. I shot a wedding with that combination a couple of weeks ago and the results were great (except for my own mistakes). Exposures indoors and outdoors were perfect. Pictures shot with the Af50/1.4 and the 28-105 Power Zoom were always sharp. Of course I used the AF50/1.4 for the shots that would most likely result in the purchasing of enlargements. Using the LX for long time exposures, well the results speak for themselves. Not to mention how well the LX does under adverse conditions. What I guess I am trying to say in this ramble is I think Pentax makes great dependable photographic tools. They get the job done and do it well. Thanks for listening.
