Review on Pentax ZX-M 35mm SLR Camera Kit with 35-80mm Lens by Kristen Cunningham

Bought the zx-m to replace an old K-1000 that is showing its age and is a bit unreliable. The beauty of the zx-m is that Pentax only makes manual focus cameras. It still uses all old Pentax lenses and works with all old Pentax lenses as well as autofocus lenses. The only downside is that you can't use the aperture priority setting if you have a lens with that setting. You can check if you have an A lens if you have a green letter A on the aperture ring. This forced me to buy a new lens because I wanted this feature. If you don't mind manual metering then there's no need to buy Pentax A lenses. The beauty of what makes this camera slightly better than the K-1000 is that it can be fully manual or you can use shutter and aperture priority. .. together. A lot of plastic is used in the construction of the case, which makes it cheaper. I love my Pentax Super program because it got me through harsh conditions and continues to perform reliably. If you drop a camera it will break even the stainless steel camera dent and may stop working after a slight fall. Usually the waist reaches to the floor. But with plastic, it will break, exposing the inside of the camera to dirt and debris. The last thing I want to say is the plastic lens mount. Some don't like it, others don't care. It doesn't affect the operation of the camera, but it's easier to break. It can endure long-term wear, if you are careful, it will last long, and if you put on the lenses roughly, it will not last long. If you're looking for the best Pentax camera on the market today, the ZX-5n is for you.
