My favorite is still the K version. About the A version, comments in
Stan's page is spot on, but it was the lens I had with me when I took

Thanks, Bong. While I'm at it, I've perused your photos on the Pentax site more
than once. I love them. And you do seem to have a lot of equipment. As many
cameras as most people have lenses?
Heh! A couple weeks ago a friend noticed that I had more than just a couple of
cameras, and asked how many. Even counting the dead ones, the freebie 35mms
and the old polaroids it was something like 24 bodies.
Mind you, I use less than half a dozen of them on a regular basis.
If experience holds, this should lead to a thread with people enumerating each
of their cameras, with several side discussions on particular models,
culminating in a series of puns, probably about cormorants.

I use three camera bodies on a regular basis these days. Pentax K20D,
Pentax *ist-Ds, Kodak Medalist II.
I have (OMG), a *ist-D, 10 Pentax Film SLRs that haven't been out of on
the town in three+ years, a Leica IIIc that I never liked using,
(shutter jammed, needs a CLA but buying another would probably cost
less), a pair of Kodak Retinas that I did like using, (IIa, IIc) one of
which, (the IIa), is jammed in a way that doesn't match any of the
normal failure modes, a Bosley Reflex, who's shutter is also jammed, (I
haven't a clue who could fix it, but even in it's current condition it's
probably fairly valuable), that I used to take pictures with. a Kodak
Reflex II, (TLR takes 620 film), Kodak instamatics, (some too nice to
throw away, but not worth hunting down film for). Crap I could start a
Camera museum.
