John, I'm so glad there's another person who appreciates Petax. My first Pentax was an SV I bought before my son was born. It came with the clip on meter and I sold that to buy a Spotmatic II while on the Med Cruise. When they outlawed the import of mercury batteries the SP II used, I ended up with a Program Plus. Went from that to a Sony which used 3" disks. Finally bought a K100D Super, then a K10D and now a K30 with the 18-135 lens. I still have film cameras ranging from a Pentax AP (the first modern style SLR), SVs, K1000, MEs, MXs and even a Super Program with the -A f/1.4 unused still in the boxes. Plus a Pentax 645 medium format using 120 and 220 film. You mentioned using all your bayonet mount lenses on the K-3. I like that ability also but since I have so many of those old steel and glass Takumars, I like the fact with the Pentax adapter I can use all my 1950s and 1960s screwmount lenses.
By the way John, the "Bisbee At Dusk" is a great photograph. For those of you who don't know, getting a photograph into the Pentax Photo Gallery is a major accomplishment. It's voted on at two levels, membership and jury. Get past the first, you still have to get past the second.
