Hi,
Laughing at you? Nope, just smiling because you got hold of a neat,
classic camera. Remember, some of my "daily shooters" are even older than
the KX by quite a margin.
I never had a K camera, but recently got to test and use a few that were
donated to the 6th Street Photo Workshop, where I volunteer and teach a
basic photo class. I was impressed by these swell cameras, and decided
that I want to get one for myself, and at some point down the line am
looking to have my very own KX or KM
And, the person most responsible for this infatuation is .... Keith Whaley.
Keith donated a K1000 and a KM, and I ran a roll of film thru each, which
got me hooked. Using the KM was especially sweet - loved the DOF preview -
with an old K55/1.8 lens I found in the back of my closet. That lens has a
particularly nice character, not overly sharp or contrasty, but able to
resolve a good amount of detail. The K bodies and some of the K lenses
make a wonderful combination, so much so that I just grabbed a nice looking
K50/1.4 off eBay (I've always wanted that lens but missed a few
opportunities) to supplement the 1.8
And I don't need no steenkin' batteries, either ;-))
