My 1st Pentax


JK earlier said in another thread …
“Hey... don't say so much... Waiting for you to start the thread.... “

“My 1st Pentax” is specifically about our experiences with our 1st Pentax camera.

Share your 1st Pentax and pictures that bring back good memories.

The K1000 by Asahi Opt. Co. was my 1st Pentax way back in 1977.

It is still in working condition. Will post pictures after running them through the scanner….

Ben,,,your first camera in 1977? I thought that you were born in 1977.:)
 

I started photography in 1984 after school and my first camera was not a Pentax but a Cosina CT-1A nad then the Chinnon CP-7m
 

Wahhh all so happening here....i started dslr with pentax k5 in 2011 and till now never think of jump ship...:)
 

my first Pentax is K-5, still using it.. came from Canon, never look back.

using K-01 with manual lenses, K-5 for auto lenses... GR for convenience.

waiting for K-3 prices to drop in BnS... when can I buy one for $600?
 

hee.. yup. :) Only not lucky is I can't my photo of my K7!!! :(

Hi hi, not master lah.. no tripod was used, Pentax SR works!!! Anyway, have to wait for the moments when they don't move much or the best lighting is out. I think i took quite a number of shots and delete most of it.

I remember I was still practising manual focussing and trying to keep the ISO at 800. Any higher, the K7 does not shine. :X

Thanks bro... learn something today...

We are off a good start, so I really don't wish to see personal arguments muddy this thread.

Unrelated posts deleted.
 

Think i started around the same time as you..that time i got the red k-x.I din do much research about the different brands..only got it because it was red and relatively cheaper than the other DSLRs out there...

Yeah.. seems like the largest boom in users was in the K5/Kx period.
Sure hope to see another Pentax camera that breaks down the branding barrier like those 2 cameras, soon. :)
 

my first pentax was a K-X, navy blue version :) served me well for more than a year before upgrading to K5... still using it, though not as often now as main camera is now the more portable GR.

K5 is still useful for the interchangeable lens, especially if shooting macro, GR has more limitations. Probably not gonna upgrade until the K5 becomes "K.O" :bsmilie:
