Re: Nice ending to my K-3 saga

[Ken Waller]

God to hear you had a good experience Stan.

Ive always felt that they under rated the items Ive purchased 
from them and downgraded items Ive sold to them for extremely small 
issues.

So, I bought a K-3iii. Tried it. I was impressed, but in too many ways it was 
too different from my other Pentax bodies (K-1 and 645Z). I could not readily 
switch from one to the other because the layout and functionality and content 
of the buttons and menus was just too much for me to adapt to. Compounded by 
the addition of a touch-screen to manage many functions. I have sold the K-3iii.

I realized that the features of the K-3iii APS-C that I found useful are also 
present in the K-3ii which is functionally a contemporary to the K-1 and 645Z. 
So I bought a used K-3ii from KEH.

I have bought many camera bodies and lenses from KEH over the years. My worst 
ever experience was buying an LX body from them. It came carefully nestled in 
amongst plastic/styrofoam peanuts as packing material. As they 
has not bothered to put a body cap on the camera, and as they had not bothered 
to put the camera in a plastic bag, those peanuts were also inside the camera 
body. That package was quickly retuned to them, they sent a replacement LX. But 
still, how careless can you get!

Fast forward to today. I received the K-3. A generous wrapping of bubble wrap 
around the interior package. And what a package! The camera body (in its own 
plastic bag) along with the charger, charger electrical cord and battery each 
in their own plastic bags and then bundled together, all of this inside a 
padded zippered case. I am totally amazed!

(And the camera seems to live up to their EX rating.)

That’s a superb shot of the boat. 

The guy looking for his keys should look in clearer, shallower water - it’ll be 
easier to spot them.

As for the bird…

Spot the Spotty?

[Bob Pdml]

A couple of pictures here from 1963 showing Malcolm X with a Spotmatic, and 
presumably a 50mm lens. I wonder if his pictures have ever been published.

That must be why they later chose the designation MX…

That's impressive.  Glad you got something more compatible with your
