Advantages: Unlimited use Disadvantages: Need to buy a flash separate
In this age of high technology automatic electronic equipment it pays to take a step back to the simple things such as the Pentax K1000 camera. The fully manual 35mm SLR obviously requires complete user control but for the photographer who doesn’t want to be limited by a camera’s ability, this is the one for you.

FOCUS
Auto focus with the Pentax 18-55mm is quick and even works well in low light. It might hunt on the odd occasion if it's a low light low contrast scene but it always focuses. I believe the flash can provide strobed light to assist but I haven't needed it so far. My Minlota Z3 would just give up in these situations. You can turn ...
