It is actaully possibel to buy a Pentax DSLR for less than 600 USD. Then go and buy AF lenses that are 15 years old, that will work on this camera. Or MF lenses that are 25 years old and will work on this camera. What other brand can offer this? No wonder the best old Pentax lenses are becomming increasingly harder to come by :-).
A tip: If you are looking for at nice lens, try to go to www.ebay.de. Many adds here are "Germany only" - and in German. These items never reaches the same price level as in the USA/internationally. I recently bought an Exakta VX1000 - looking like new - fully working. I paid less than 25% of the what these cameras sell for in the US. It may be the same thing in France, Italy, Austria, Netherlands etc. These items wont show up in an interntional search.

I don't know. All I do know is that I put 11 Pentax lenses on Ebay (the M and A series ones that I find I don't use since I bought FA series replacements) and 7 out of 11 were sold within 48 hours at sensible BIN pricing. Whatever Pentax relevance or not to 'state of the art DSLRs', there is a very healthy marketplace for Pentax gear. Godfrey -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
