Overview
A film photographer gets a small SLR body in this Pentax kit, with a mechanical shutter and a choice of manual or aperture priority exposure. A normal-length lens is part of the package.
Choose it for learning film photography with a small body and a normal-focal-length lens. The listing mixes in digital resolution, burst and video fields that do not fit a film camera, and its lens count is unclear.
Who it's for
Learning exposure on film with the two exposure modes suits the simple body. Buyers who want autofocus, video or a documented condition should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Compact film SLR body
- Standard lens in the kit
- Manual and aperture priority modes
- Digital and video fields do not apply
- Lens count unclear, one or two
- Lens mount not listed
- Not water resistant
Performance notes
A mechanical shutter times each exposure without an electronic file or sensor, and the optical viewfinder shows the scene through the lens. Aperture priority lets the camera set the shutter speed, while manual mode leaves both to you. The listed shutter speeds are stated oddly, so verify them in the manual.
