Product Information
The Pentax P3 35 mm SLR Film Camera is a lightweight, high quality option for amateur photographers looking for an entry point into the realm of SLR Cameras. This Pentax camera features a durable plastic body with an interface that's incredibly easy to use, even for novices. Compatible with either the Pentax-A or Pentax-D system of lenses, the Pentax P3 has a maximum shutter speed of 1/1000. It can be used with full auto exposure for those looking to keep it simple or in a manual mode for those looking for more customization of their shots. Instead of a built-in flash, this Pentax Camera comes equipped with a hot-shoe that supports an external flash, which is mounted and synched at a speed of 1/100 when in use. One of the features that set this Pentax camera apart is a built-in LED light meter that allows photographers to manually adjust the exposure levels by altering the shutter speed and aperture settings. The Pentax P3 also includes a self-timer, a depth-of-field preview and a variety of compatible lenses to choose from. Overall, few SLR cameras provide the simplicity, durability and versatility that this model has to offer.Product Identifiers

great quality at reasonable price
The Pentax P3n is a dream machine. Well designed and built, it brings back the joy of film photography. It has the features that a dedicated photographer needs. No unnecessary gimmicks. The array of K-mount lenses that it can use are vast and, rest assured, of the best quality. The viewfinder is large, the info inside is just what you need, and the numbers are easily visible. The camera is fairly light and fits very well in the hands. It has a solid feel to it. In fact, it's a good-looking, moderately-sized camera. It's obvious that the Pentax engineers were at the top of their game when they designed it, chose the materials, and created it. These cameras are easy to find. The quality they have is outstanding and cheap to buy. The only con is that it only accepts DX coded film. You cannot set the ASA. This is a very small inconvenience considering the tremendous overall quality. With the P3n, film still rules in serious photography. Enjoy!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Pretty Impressed
Product came exactly on time. The camera itself is in excellent condition, no scratches on the lens and only a few scratches from previous use at the base. The manuals that came with were all in good condition and the leather casing looked very new as well. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with my buy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

a superb 35mm film camera for themoney
Pentax has always been one of the best values for the money. Never any issues and always good function and image quality. I have digitals but still enjoy 35mm the most because there are fewer operational options and they are simpler to use.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
