Fun Camera!
Very good camera, especially starting out! The function is so easy to use, the flash is amazing and I love the look and how easy it is to carry! Definitely worth the investment

Great camera !
So far I really like this camera. It took me a little while to get used to the zone focus system and the manual it comes with is not very in depth. However, after some practice and watching some YouTube tutorials I feel comfortable with it. It is now my go to EDC camera and slips into a jacket pocket fairly comfortably. I haven’t messed with the macro or bulb functions much but I plan to experiment going forward. Attached are a few of my photos with this camera, I highly recommend getting medium or high resolution scans to maximize the potential of the half frame format. The only annoyance I have, is having to rely on a lens cap on such a (relatively) small camera, I am used to cameras of this size being point and shoots that have integrated lens covers. Not sure if that is just a “me” problem though.

Zero regrets getting this!
It’s been ages since I last picked up a film camera and to be honest, I bought this on a whim hoping to relieve some old glory days. I’m so glad I did. It’s reawakened a long forgotten passion for the medium and it’s downright fun. Is it a pro level camera? Probably not but it’s still awesome and takes great pics. Plus if you’re just getting into film or rediscovering it, what better way to get into it than with 72 exposures. The build quality is good, it’s small enough you can take anywhere, and once you get used to it, the zone focus is just fine. You can also put it in program and use it like a point and shoot (mostly).

No dejo esta cámara dondequiera que voy
Tengo un par de cámaras restauradas, y una H35 para disfrutar, pero esta es la que siempre anda conmigo. Es sencilla, me da 72 fotos, el lente es calidad y esencia.No soy un profesional, pero amo el filme y amo lo que esta cámara produce.

Light and sturdy film camera
Very well build and light camera. Need to read the manual but overall very easy to operate. You can get some amazing nostalgic photos that todays best smartphone can’t provide.

Thanks Pentax for keeping film alive
Great starter camera for beginners. Also you purchasing new hopefully it’s in good working condition. With used cameras that always a risky purchase.It’s easy to use lightweight.

I actually don't like it
Build quality 10/10.Operation 10/10.It looks amazing. It feels great It works good. For me.... it's too small and feels cheep. It's not.... but that's how it feels. It shoots half frame which is a money saver. But for film.. it's all about the feeling. And this feels too cheep. I have a 1986 nikon F2 and I'd rather use that. This was very nice and fun though.
