I had the same combination which I believe was actually 28-70 and 70-210 lenses.The SFXn was my first proper camera bought brand new from Jessops with Sigma 28-50 and 50-210mm lenses. I only wish now I learned how to use it. Sold on ebay Have loads of holiday snaps (slides) which I must sort out some day
I couldn't wait to use it so I am walking through the streets of Nottingham taking bits and bobs out of cellophane and cardboard boxes. Assembled it and pressed the shutter and...all I could hear was a whirring noise and no pictures I took it straight back to Jessies and the kind man showed me that I hadn't connected the lens properly...
Great camera but was the heaviest pentax film camera I have ever used

MZ-M would be my choice. PASM all available (with the right lenses) what's not to like?

I personally cannot understand why anyone would want a 110 camera. The image quality of 110 was useless and with so many decent compact digitals around (see Galoot's post about Pentax Optio i10 for £34.95), what is the point? Why is it more fun?

can anybody point me in the direction of the post by Galoot...have tried searching but can't find it I personally cannot understand why anyone would want a 110 camera.

May I make a recomendation, I have been shooting exclusively film for about 3 months and I have used many colour films and I have observed that the best colour film to use for all situations is for me, agfaphoto vista 100,200 and 400. They have very good versatility and are very well saturated but in a really nice soft way, and have very low grain at all asa's (100, 200 and 400)

I decided that obviously a new camera or several was required so rather foolishly I started looking at Canon as I had acquired an Eos 300 film camera and was impressed by it...however after reading reviews and doing a bit of handling I decide no I'd stick with Pentax..so first off I have now acquired a K-01 (the trial shots have been impressive as I've installed 1.04 firmware) and today I've taken the plunge and gone for the K3.
Mad I must be but I am so used to Pentax that anything else (other than point and shoot) wouldn't do..so I suppose my answer is that old habits die hard
