Well to the fora. It is a friendly place full of helpful people.
My first SLR was an ME Super and I still use one regularly when I don't want to lug the LX about. The advantage of Pentax DSLRs is that you can use your old lenses on them with the advantage of in-body shake reduction. Principal disadvantage is a low "burst rate" if you need that sort of thing (I don't).
Best wishes, Kris.
PS could you fill in your location, please? Helps with recommending suppliers etc.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Just registered, been a pentax user member for many years. Sadly my MZ-7 has packed up so i'm looking for a DSLR. Ironiocally my ME-Super is still in working order!! My MZ-7 Shutter has stopped working, not been knocked or anything just stopped one day in the lake district. Since then i've been using an optio s60, but do I miss my SLR.
Hello Pete,Just registered, been a pentax user member for many years. Sadly my MZ-7 has packed up so i'm looking for a DSLR. Ironiocally my ME-Super is still in working order!!

What a surprise, my MZ7 packed up in Australia, It would appear to be a common fault with this camera, although no one will officially admit to this!
Like you I was looking for a Digital SLR, and guess what I now have a K20D.
The MZ7 is an uneconomical repair mate, as Pentax will charge more than the camera is worth!
Look on the bright side I travelled all the way to Australia and ULURU, hoping for some fine shots of the changing colour/light effects, only to find like you my trusty MZ7 had packed it in!
Be lucky.
