Anyone know anything about the Pentax P30N?

[HanC]

Have just seen an add in my local paper for a Pentax P30N SLR camera, going for £65..wondered what people knew about this? whether its an ok camera or not? for a beginner...just out of interest!
cheers

65 seems a bit steep to me . ive no experience with one but most likely a reasonable camera . manual , ap etc ,,, ,,,what other bits and pieces go with it ? lenses , flash ,

It comes with a 28-80mm lens and a flash apparently. i think its quite an old camera

The P30N was one of the cheaper offerings from Pentax. It was an OK camera, but if it's a Pentax you want , look for an MX - fully manual and almost pro build quality - the battery only powers the meter.

My Canon A1 plus motordrive, flashgun, lenses and bag is still for sale in Classified!
