I bought a Pentax for my daughter, hoping I would get to use it ... but 
no way.

The IIIf works out as my "compact" camera. I have never felt like it was 
a compromise either. (The CL is vying for attention and might replace 
the IIIf).

My daughter has really taken to a Pentax body (istDL or istDS can never 
remember) and a fixed focal-lenth 28/2.8 (Pentax lens) as a standard. 
She says if feels like a normal camera (small and handy).
