Repairing Pentax P3/P30
Hello,
I'm new to this forum and I just wanted some advice with some more experienced people regarding film camera repairs. I recently found a P30 body with the standard 50mm prime lens in the garage and took it to the repair shop as the battery seemed corroded. The estimates on total work on the camera would be 120$-130$ (they found some other stuff that needed fixing). Should I repair the P30 or should I just buy a new/old film camera altogether? I want to get a camera before the holidays so that I can shoot during the celebrations and parties. Thank you. __________________

Re: Repairing Pentax P3/P30
First of all, WELCOME TO THE CAMEL.
I am not familiar with the Pentax P30 but I really doubt that it is worth over $100 to repair most 35mm film cameras. If you live in or near a larger city, visit some of the camera shops. I would guess that you will find a large selection of fairly high quality used cameras, in good operating condition and at very reasonable prices. The other alternative is to shop on-line; but that requires some time and you may not be able to have your camera in time for the holiday celebrations. __________________
