I purchased a Pentax ZX-10 35mm SLR camera in 1998 from Boyd's Camera in San Antonio, TX, as a replacement for my older Pentax ME Super. The ZX-10 is very nice and very reasonable, for the number of features available. The camera came with a 35-80 AF zoom, batteries, neck strap, and camera bag. I also purchased a 100-300 AF zoom. I later added the 28-200mm AF zoom and an AF-330FTZ Electronic Zoom flash. Very flexible system. The only thing that I would like to be added is a double/multiple exposure feature.
This camera has caught my eye! Pentax has released a new digital camera, the *ist D. This is a digital SLR (DSLR) which looks like an 35mm SLR camera. In fact, it is based on Pentax's new *ist film SLR.
2 reviews of *ist D are available at Digital Photography Review, and at Steve's Digicams. I will gladly accept donations towards the purchase of this camera for use with this webpage. :{)>
UPDATE: The Pentax EIC-90 finally bit the dust and stopped working. In February 2008, I purchased the Kodak ZD710 EasyShare digital camera. This takes nice 7.1 mega-pixel photos, and Quicktime MOV movie files. Lots of nice features, that I'm still learning about.

Pentax PDF files
I have several Pentax cameras, as you can guess from the camera photos above. I have found some Adobe PDF files for some of my camera equipment. Pentax maintains a PDF library for most of their products.
I have the following PDF files for my equipment:
- Pentax PZ-10 owner's manual.
- Pentax AF330FTZ flash owner's manual.
- For my Pentax ME Super, I have the following manuals:
- Pentax ME Super owner's manual.
- Pentax ME Winder II owner's manual.
- And service manuals for Pentax ME Super, the Pentax ME, and the Pentax MX. The ME Super, the ME, and the MX models are all very similar in construction and maintenance.
- For my Pentax digital camera, I have the following manuals:
- EI-C90 owner's manual, (which is the right half of the camera) and the
- EI-L90 owner's manual which is the monitor on the left side.
- I also have a broken Z-1P which I need to get repaired some day.
