My opinion is that it is a good way to get quick BW from Wal-mart, but that's about it. In the darkroom it is difficult to print because most versions have the orange mask of color film, making it a little flat and does not respond well to contrast filters. Again, just my opinion. Dave

You should still be able to order a replacement door from Pentax USA for not a lot of money. Changing the back door on it is very easy. When you open the back door and look at the hinge there should be a small screw near the top of the hinge. Don't get out that mini screwdriver! Simply use
