Have this weather proof film Pentax PC606W back in the 80s.
Cannot rememeber where it was kept until doing room cleaning yesterday. Found it has film inside, decided to remove the film as cannot remember when it was loaded and shots taken.
Put in battery and it still works. Anyone care to give a try?

This one looks really cute. I guess Pentax had a really long history of making WR cameras :thumbsup:
 

Hey Darren, just a question, is this strap strong enough to dangle the k20?

With a 70-200 mounted as well, but it's definitely not comfortable. The guy's website shows him hanging a lot more weight than just this camera. Anyway I only use it as a safety leash and I have my hand holding the camera's weight at all times.

Oh icic, i went to the Gordy's website and saw this strap is meant for pns camera. I also saw another one with a metal ring which is more suited for heavier camera. I love the colour of this leather strap.:)

I spoke to him about it, the string can be used for DSLRs and even larger cameras, no problem.

Only issue is long-term durability and whether the string will get cut or worn down, but I think it should be okay. I wasn't sure if the ring would work with the K20D which has a recessed strap slot, so I got the string version instead. Gordy's has nicer leather colors than Andy's, I really like the dark brown.
