Pentax Camera
Customer Reviews Synopsis
Great Cameram, great Tamron 28-1200 zoom there is nothing due to Pentax zooms. An incredibly cheap purchase of an excellent camera that in terms of photography spoils many high-priced digital cameras. Believe me.
Had originally bought this camera to replace my broken Chinon CG-5. Camera came well wrapped however double exposure lever was broken upon arrival and there is dirt inside the viewfinder. Was able to replace the lever however was not able to dismantle the camera enough to clean dirt inside of viewfinder. The lens is in good condition and was clean. Auto-winder seems to work good and is in good condition. Hoping to run a roll of film in this camera soon. I don't think there are any light leaks but seals are a bit rotten. Definitely a good 4/5 stars.
Very happy with this lens, performs very well on my K3-II.
Well, I have mixed feelings about this Item.
To begin with, I can't complain about the seller, such a polite person, always answering my e-mails very fast, I would recommend buying his articles!!!
On the other hand,the camera screams for a CLA. ASAP!!! Shutter works, electronics WORK! a surprise on these early Pentax cameras (even more being one of the firsts electronic in history) BUT... mirror doesn't return when you use slow shutter speeds and sometimes at 500 and 1000 speeds. But hey, it was cheap and I took the risk. Also, cosmetics on this camera: rust on the back but you could see that on the article pics, but overall it's very clean, a beaut!!!
Ps: If I were still in Europe, I'd buy more stuff from him like those Takumars and that Canon F1! lol
Peace!
