I tend to agree about the description of brands, but have had just as
must luck with my Minolta SLR.  Back in high school days Pentax was
the camera bought by the school not for the ruggedness but because
they were the cheapest. Inherent in this was a general lack of features.
Pentax has come a long way, but I believe they still have the screw in
lense mount.  The bayonet lense mount is preferred by many of us for ease.
