It says 22.3 oz without lens. I have a big zoom lens and no idea what the weight is. So it's sure not as heavy as your dad's camera, but heavier than your digital nikon slr. Just looked online to see the k1000 and then saw some cases that were made for my Pentax. I've been using a large, bulky, solid-body camera case all these years and I think that if I got one made for this camera it would help a lot. Thanks for nudging me to look at options!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-71964834671520750642008-11-26T23:07:00.000-08:002008-11-26T23:07:00.000-08:00i wonder if we have the same camera! what model pe...i wonder if we have the same camera! what model pentax do you have?<BR/>i've got my dad's old k1000 and it must be at least 3 pounds with the lens. but my digital nikon slr only weighs 17.6 ounces according to the website!rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160598958895342969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-84237773643263674072008-11-25T12:13:00.000-08:002008-11-25T12:13:00.000-08:00Rachael,Ah, thanks for the hugs.

I wonder if the digital slr's are as heavy as this Pentax. And to think I hauled it up to the top of Mount St. Helens 14 years ago - not the best idea for an arduous hike/climb!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-84394721612288708812008-11-25T10:33:00.000-08:002008-11-25T10:33:00.000-08:00cheer up, it's a month until christmas (:i'm sorry...cheer up, it's a month until christmas (:<BR/>i'm sorry you've been feeling down, though. i think that 'Don't Feed The Pixies' is on to something. photography can certainly be a great release sometimes, and i bet the scenery is so picturesque up there at this time of year. i'd love to see how your shots turn out.<BR/>i hope that you'll be in better spirits soon and find the joy you've been looking for! and i wish that digital hugs could offer a little more condolence than the words that represent them. but here's at least three anyway (:rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160598958895342969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-69948773723393023882008-11-25T00:58:00.000-08:002008-11-25T00:58:00.000-08:00Pixies,Your comments about SAD reminded me to go u...Pixies,<BR/>Your comments about SAD reminded me to go upstairs and get my light box, which I bought some years ago for this exact reason. I haven't used it for a couple of winters but this one already has hit me harder, so I really appreciate your thoughts.<BR/>I've been thinking about taking more pictures with my regular SLR, because the digital (non slr) is frustrating to me.<BR/>Yes, cats are the best. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Distracted,<BR/>Thank you for the hugs.

And you're right, the dog walk tonight was lots brighter with quite a few homes along our regular walk having decorated this weekend. <BR/><BR/>Jennifer,<BR/>Here's a hug....<BR/>I hope we both feel better soon too. Truly, just knowing that you are also experiencing sadness along with me brought tidings of comfort.

We'll be roasting out tofu (or whatever, probably not tofu) as a small family unit on Thanksgiving, the three of us, which is fine, but feels a little bereft. Something is absent. Maybe it's joy.<BR/><BR/>I hope both of us feel better soon.jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07959874504681715396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-78077912136754600512008-11-23T09:03:00.000-08:002008-11-23T09:03:00.000-08:00I'm sorry to hear about your sadness.

Hopefully it continues and the sadness lifts.<BR/><BR/>I have been enjoying the Christmas lights myself. It's a lot more fun to walk on a dark evening when there are brightly colored lights all around. :)Elizabeth Halthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595395276757245598noreply@blogger.com
