The Pentax are still being grabbed up by students. But the Nikon outfits cost more. So they sit and gather dust. The only Pentax that isn't selling is a used PZ-70. (iirc)
Funny you say that. I was just at my favourite camera store and the owner was telling me about a customer who brought in two mint F3s motor drives a slew of excellent lenses etc. Stuff that cost about $10,000. Lucky to get $2,000 for it. The sad thing is, this stuff still takes just as good pictures as it did when it was worth $10,000. It's a great time to pick up real bargains, especially old Nikons and Canon... but even Pentax especially K and M lenses... Vic
