    Some models while viewing photos hit the ok button and a histogram appears.

    Short answer? YES!😉
    I recently got hold of a 2009 vintage 12Mp APS-C Pentax K-x and I am very impressed. It’s FAR from perfect given my subjective preferences but it is HIGHLY capable.
    The worst critique I could bring against it is that it is very heavy on AA batteries…and that it is APS-C🤪😂

      I quite detest cameras that use AA or AAA batteries 😅

    "But I still can't see any exposure confirmation, not even a plus or minus sign." Hmm. You're looking at the exposure meter, it's just below the ISO indicator. There should be a readout inside the viewfinder too. Incidentally, when shooting M mode you can set a metered shutter speed using the green button.
    I've never used a K-r. I have a K-S1 (introduced 2014) which is one of the smallest DSLRs ever, and nonetheless has a good pentaprism viewfinder. It's quirky and less refined than later models, but I'm getting use out of it.

      Yeah, eventually I did figure it out, but it was unintuitive

    I love the high contrast preset in black and white on my Pentax K-r ! Almost like the high contrast in the Ricoh GR I/II/III

      @@MarcoAries 😀👍 You go to 'Digital Filters' and then 'High Conttast'. Then sharpness - or the lack thereof - is no issue anymore 😀 Everything becomes artful 😊

    I absolutely fell in love with my PENTAX K-x and then found a K-r like new for not much money right after my first acquisition and I use them both constantly. I do not see much difference between the two. I use a Sigma 18-125mm, the 18-55mm or the 55-250mm. Great video and it resonated immediately my my PENTAX inspirations lately 😀

    I still use my Nikon d7000, it also will focus the old Afd Nikon glass I have around

      I didn't expect the screw drive autofocus to be that good and fast, even on film!

    U used K5 till 2020 and now my main camera is K3mk1. No need to upgrade.
    Kr has several limitations since it is entry level body. But controls are really easy.

    • @MarcoAries

      Yes, the Kr does feel limiting

    i have this camera. i use it with pentax-m lenses. i often rely on the green hexagon in focus indicator in the viewfinder or red led dot. the movie mode is pretty useless, a battery hog. nice high clean iso rendition. if you can get one for 100 american dollars with a kit lens, it's a bargain. did i mention i have the aa battery adaptor? a must have.

    • @MarcoAries

      I'm using it with Pentax-M lenses as well, but at anything wider than f2.8 the viewfinder indicator is not precise enough
