My Pentax P-30t was a gift from my wife, Lynn, on the occasion of our first Christmas married (1995).

This auto-exposure/manual focus camera is the only SLR in my collection and its also the only camera I own that is auto-anything. I must admit, it took a while for a manual-everything guy like myself to get used to the different exposure modes, but I am happy to report that this camera remains an absolute favorite of mine. Over the years I have accessorized this camera with three additional lenses, several lens filters and a compatible programmed auto-flash.

FEATURES:

• Four exposure modes: Programmed AE, Aperture-priority AE, Metered Manual, and Programmed Auto Flash
• Exposure memory
• Pentax K/A lens mount
• Automatic DX-coded film speed selection
• Electronic shutter release timer
• Depth of field preview
