The Pentax *ist DS is the first Pentax I ever owned and I find it a
very good camera.
I recently acquired a black MX body, which I like because it reminds
me so much of my favorite Nikons (the FM/FE series) which I used for
20+ years. I haven't taken any pictures with the MX yet, however, so
it is premature to nominate it as a favorite. I do like how it feels
and its simplicity.

Hi Gang ...
Another Pentax list member and I were talking and comparing what
gear we
now have. Over the years we've known one another a lot of cameras and
lenses have passed through our hands. While looking at my list I
began
thinking which, of all my cameras, past and present, is my favorite.
Surprisingly, it became something off a toss-up between the KM and
the MAX,
with the KM coming out just a little ahead of the MAX.
I like its heft, its utter simplicity (toss the battery and you end
up with
an SLR version of a Leica M3), uncluttered viewfinder, DOFF
preview, and
... gee, that's all it's got, which is another reason why it's so
enjoyable
to use ;-))
So, what's your favorite Pentax - even if it's one that you don't
use or
use very much.
