That would be good for manual, but I believe he was also looking for
mechanical, I think this baby has an electronic shutter.

I'm looking for (well for now just looking to know which ones) any brand
cameras (not too... well forget about e.g. Zenit) having a K mount.
I know about Pentax ones, I myself got very recently a KX which I
already
love. But I'm looking to offer one to my father. At a time, he owned a
Yashica (M42) fully manual which he enjoyed much. He now uses a
(P)Z-10 and
has completely lost interest in doing things himself. But looking at
my KX
seems to awake some feelings :). I have lenses enough not to care
about that
too much but would like to offer him a good old mechanical one but a
K mount
one.
Maybe non Pentax ones will be less expensive so I want to evaluate any
affordable option. I was thinking about some Ricoh like KR-5 and so on.
However, I'm not quite sure how to be sure a camera is fully manual
without
looking at its manual.
I found a listing of K mount cameras here
http://www.butkus.org/chinon/ultimate_k-mount.htm but I'm not sure: I
think
that a flash sync at 1/100 or better should be electro as well as
1/2000.
But then I'm lost.
If you have any idea... I like the idea to convert him back to fully
manual
shooting and away from bzzzzzz tidit shlkzzzzzzzzzzz :D

awful.
