Better late than never?
I have told this story here before, I hope I can stay consistent :-)
I had been sent to work in New Mexico/Texas. I went with a friend for a
hike up Sierra Blanca in New Mexico (still snow on the slopes). He was
shooting with an Olympus SLR (OM-1 I believe), I was shooting with a 110
(not Pentax, I do not recall the brand at the moment.
Once we got the photos back I was amazed at the differences in photo
quality. I knew then that I needed a 35mm SLR.
I began to research the different models available before going to
stores - this was in 1983.
I settled on the Super Program mainly due to size. I looked at Canon
and Nikon and I could not see myself carry those behemoths.
I shortly followed this camera - which I still have, and it still works
- with an LX and then another Super Program. Of course this did not
stop there as I branched into the M42 mounts, and recently 645 and 67 :-P

The "favorite" pentax poll generated lots of good stuff. Got me to
thinking about my first pentax.
