happiness is a seventeen-year-old camera

my new seventeen-year-old camera
I won a cash prize in the photo competition on Sunday, so brought that with me to Fukuoka "just in case" I found an interesting old Pentax camera to go with my interesting old Pentax lens. I found this, which is almost the same vintage as my son. I guess that complements the camera well, as it's around the same vintage as my wife!
The K-7 is a rare Pentax camera made with a Samsung sensor. It famous for its great colors, but also rumored to have a fair bit of noise above an ISO of 800. That don't befront me, and at that price I can't resist.
