€ 550 in NL. For somewhat lower cost I'd rather have a Pentax WG-8.

It looks a lot more complete than I was expecting. A little more
expensive as well, but then, it is a Pentax.

About the same as 120 gallons of gas,  in early 1973 that would have been about $40, in 1974 that would have been about $60.

Interesting. Not my cup of tea, but I'm so far outside the intended
demographic I might as well be in orbit. At first I thought the
portrait mode framing was odd, but then I remembered this camera is
being targeted at an audience who regards that as default because
they've grown up on smartphone cameras.

I can't remember exactly how much I paiid for my first Pentax (SP II + 50mm/f1.4) in 1972,
but I'm pretty sure I paid significantly more than that.

The place in the UK offering the new beastie also offers (when in stock) the K1000 for over £100 less.  Although that in itself is daylight robbery, I know which I would choose.

The problem with the camera from the POV of the PDML isn't the camera,
it's that we are all too fucking old. The target market isn't a bunch of
people in God's waiting room.
