Default Pentax PZ 1-P

I'm a novice who just picked up a used PZ 1-P. I think it's supposed to be a pretty decent camera. I hope so, at least, lol.

It came with an 80-200 Pentax lens. I need a wide angle though, an everyday lens.

What would you think is good? 24-? Is there anything lower/wider than 24(that doesn't cost a ton, that is)? What lens might you suggest & what is a ballpark used price for it/them?

Thanks very much.

I'm not positive what it could hold but a good place to look for old stuff that is also highly reliable is KEH.com, so checking there periodically to see what comes in may be a good stop for you.

iualum--

First of all WELCOME TO THE CAMEL. Hope you will post some shots taken with your "new" camera.

I second Mr. Pickel's suggestion to try KEH.com. If no luck there you can always hunt around on ebay. You might also research to see if an adapter is available so that other brand lenses can be attached to that camera.

Cheers/Mike

Have a look here.
