After accidently destroying my very first camera (a Kodak S100), I managed to pick up a second hand Pentax Zoom-70 for $300.00AU way back in 1990! It was my main camera from that year until I got into digital photography in 2006. I have many hundreds of images taken from this versatile compact and I was always pleased with the quality and consistency of the shots it produced. It worked well with landscape, portrait and action photography from memory. One thing I haven't tried is B&W film, so I might try that I'm sure it will perform well. Great to see some fellow admirers of this classic camera (I thought I was the only one!)<br>
