Dream Cameras

[Didache]

Strangely, I would rather have another Pentax K10. My current one has been my friend for over four years - it has seen me though competitions and family snaps. It has been used in a dozen countries and more. It has been rained on, dropped, and generally taken for granted. The counter has been round the clock a couple of times. It keeps on going.

Crucially, I could set it with a blindfold on - I know every feature, how to find it, and how to use it.

Sure, there are more up to date models available - better able to handle low light and so on. But this camera is part of my life and does whatever I demand of it, without complaint. That is why, even if money were not an issue, I would choose another K10 for when mine eventually calls it a day.

I would however like a good wide angle lens!

Cheers
Mike
