Well, my heart will always belong to the K1000. But being on a tighter budget right now (spending a lot of money on those aforementioned plastic lenses will do that to you!) I don't think I can spare the change to get one in decent shape (KEH still has them listed for more than $100 in EX condition).
So I've been looking at the P3n along with a good ole 50mm f/2 M lens to go with it (both of which are available for about $50 -- or less -- each). I honestly don't really care quite so much about the body (light tight box and all that). I just want manual exposure, center weighted metering, and manual film advance. One of these days I'll have the spare money to get another beloved K1000. On 2/22/07, Scott Loveless <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, Nick. Good to meetcha.
