Hey what's so funny, I use a condom on one or two of my lenses.

Hello all. I just got me a K1000 from a pawn shop with the standard 50mm
lenses. It seems to work fine. My question though is about lenses. I'm
looking for a decent zoom. I'm thinking 70-210 or thereabouts. Any
suggestions? I'm looking to keep it under $100 if possible. I can go higher
if needed.
Why not a couple primes? You'll get beter overall quality and they are brighter.
Of course you'll have to carry them all.
A SMC Pentax-M 135mm 3.5 is a very good lens and is VERY cheap.
I have a KX (higher end version of the K1000). I can tell you you will

Hi! Welcome to the madness that is this list. :)
I bought a Sears 80-200/4 from a friend for $20, it's
not been bad for such a cheap lens. Local shops seem
to have the same lens around $40-$50. If you want
something likely better, check out the SMC Pentax-A
70-210/4.
If you'd rather have some

may have some dust. Is this normal? Will it affect the picture quality any?

There was a site once that discussed the foibles associated with the owners
of various camera brands. (Crashed my computer and lost my favorites. Wish
I knew what that URL was) Anyway, I think it was the Leica owners that were
described as taking their cameras into the bathroom with them so

You impress at a distance, but you impact a life up close. The closer the
