The Pentax P3n is a classic film camera that provides the essentials and little more. If all you are after is to have a 35mm film camera that will allow you to learn the basics of exposure control, focusing, composition, etc., you'd be hard pressed to find anything as good as this. It is very rugged and reliable, and should you elect not to be in full control with the manual exposure settings, it's flexible enough to allow for aperture priority metering or full programmed automation on exposure. The only annoyance for some is the need to use DX-coded film cassettes, but there are any number of ways to cope with that. Perhaps the best thing this camera has going for it is its value. These have maintained a very low average price for years on eBay, and given that they are not altogether that old you almost certainly do not need to worry with having the camera serviced for a CLA (i.e., cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment) -- and that can be a pretty good savings over some of the older "classic" film cameras like the K1000, the MX, etc.Read full review

The camera came in perfect cosmetic condition, the strap that came with it is beautiful. I really appreciated that the seller gave me a spare lens cap they had! So far the camera has been super easy to handle, the auto film take up means a newbie like me can figure it out relatively easy. Automode is intuitive and manual mode is exceptionally easy since the meter lets you know exactly what shutter speed to use by flashing it. Overall it has given me some great photos, I’m very happy with it.
