Inspired by Peter Elgar's video review, I dug out my Pentax Zoom 105 Super. This is a camera of its time. It is pretty ugly, but has a myriad of features including close-up settings and so on. I managed to use about 2/3rds of a roll before it stopped playing ball, and the roll had sat in the camera for quite a while since then. I finally got it out using a dark bag and sent it off for developing. It still sort of works (enough for the photo) but I wouldn't use another roll in it. Some of the pictures and sharp, some are terrible. I don't think the autofocus is very good.
Despite the current fad for using film compact cameras, in general I find them very disappointing and would rather use an SLR. The MX with the 40mm pancake lens is no bigger than this ugly beast.

No. 3 is especially super.

My original kit lens for my K10D was surprisingly good. I bought a Sigma somethingorother when I got my K-3 but have never felt it was all that sharp. Mostly I now use primes, especially my 31mm, but there are times when I just want to carry a single camera/lens and a new version of the 16-50 would fit my needs nicely if the quality is up to spec.

I'll start saving. I've yet to find a "standard" zoom I'm happy with and the K-3iii deserves something good.

All the new bells and whistles I don't have with my ancient version! That is one that would actually be useful. I've often been sent images by authors who tell me their 600x800 pixel image looks fine on their screen, why am I being so fussy... They then get annoyed when I return the page proofs with an image 2" by 2 2/3". 'Why did you print my photo so small...?'

Lovely stuff. No 6 is my favourite. K.
