Pentax K-3 (not a film camera)

While I am (and always will be) an analog (film) Photographer, I realize that some who read this blog have made the switch to digital equipment.  As I've often stated before, I have nothing against digital photography, it's just not my preference.  But, for those of you who have decided to pursuit our art form digitally, this post is for you.  Enjoy.
