Pentax K2000 RIP

My Pentax K2000 camera expired over about the past two weeks. Here's one of the last photos I shot with it, a boxcar converted to a HEP B unit on the Napa Valley Wine Train:

Here are a couple more last photos, N projects I pulled out of storage. I did these in the late 1970s and early 1980s:

I got the K2000 in 2009. I'm a little miffed that it lasted all of seven years, but then I took thousands of photos with it, so I suppose it paid for itself.

Researching options, I found a used Pentax K-7 body on line, and it looks like I can use the lens from the K2000 with it. The K-7 also shoots video, so I can expand my projects.
