Sorry I've been away so long, I bought a small boat, then got some major medical issues. Anyway, what do you do with an LX system? Seems obsolete and nobody would buy one anyway, not to mention my K1000, 4 Spotties, and a Super P. Guess they just collect dust. I am still pissed about film going away and have not gotten a Pentax Digital SLR yet, but am now considering it so I can still use my lenses. Hope they have a body that will accept my lenses. Any suggestions on which used body to look for? Thanks, Steve Larson
Good to see you back. If you sit down and take a deep breath I can reveal that Pentax has a world leading DSLR - maybe three/four. The clear leader is the 645D but we don't talk about that here due to the fiscal pain it induces. Good luck with finding a secondhand one.
The other two are the budget K-x/r and the K5. I know the budget choice is actually two cameras but you know Pentax. Marketing logic has not been its strong point for some decades.
All of the K's will accept your lenses, I believe. Slightly complicated shooting process for all lenses before the A series, which I believe has already been discussed. It may or may not be a problem for you, dependent mainly on subject in my experience.
