As someone who is always out checking out cameras and looking for cool old stuff especially on ebay or craigslist, I keep seeing people selling some nice Pentax film camera systems. Some of these people might have 3 or 4 lenses.<\/p>\n

Often, I see someone say. “I’m selling this to go digital” or “This would be a great student camera”<\/p>\n

Craziness, I say.<\/p>\n

I know, I’ve been guilty of extolling the virtues of some new Nikon or Canon gear, but I can’t imagine people just dumping a perfectly good Pentax system to go digital. But then again, I like film and digital.<\/p>\n

I wonder why people don’t take those lenses and use them on a new Pentax digital body<\/a> if they want a digital body. Pentax has made some really nice glass. Why go spend all the money to switch systems?<\/p>\n

Maybe some of them are going to digital point and shoot cameras<\/a>. I don’t know.<\/p>\n

The Pentax K-7<\/a> is a very capable camera. Check it out before you go dumping that nice old gear. You might like it.<\/p>\n
