I'm in on this conversation a little late. Nonetheless, I will share the following. I buy and sell cameras to sell on eBay. I found the Pentax 70R two weeks back at a St. Vincent De Paul second hand store in Eugene, Oregon. It is literally in mint condition. There is not one scratch on it anywhere, and the lens is clear of dust and mold. I bought some batteries for it off eBay for $3 less than I found them in the stores. That includes with shipping. I inserted the batteries today and the 70R woke up. It seems everything is in working order. I will need to buy some DX film for it. I enjoy taking b/w photos. BTW, I paid $2 for the camera...no tax. They don't sell for much on eBay. From what I've read here, people don't appreciate the camera as they should. So, this one is a keeper. I look forward to seeing how it stands up to my favorite camera, the Minolta SRT 102. It will get a fair amount of use.
