Hi Chris and Welcome... that is a very good find irrespective of the price. Black MX's are very rare....... give you 10 quid without looking at it
I'm not familiar with the lens, but most 35-80 ish lenses are fine. If your bothered about size it might be worth getting a standard 50mm for it.
Best of Luck with your new camera.

Thanks everyone. Thanks for the link hardgravity. if i did sell it there'd be a considerable mark up on it
Yes definatly Greytop. Can't get much for a fiver nowadays. I think a 50mm would be a good idea. Always prefer working with primes. Ebay here I come
Deal. Think it'll be a while before that happens. Yeah looks to be quite a new example. This is it: http://www.amazon.com/Pentax-SMCP-Zoom-35-80mm-4-0-5-6/dp/B00005ABCO
Should be fine for now. Thanks alot shim.
bforbes. I filled it in but just not so directly . I'm sure you'll know where it is though. Everyone seems to have photographed it . The car boot sale was at Seahouses. Its basically really small and theres rarely ever anything of interest. Just glad I went now. I wasn't going to bother

Near a famous castle in the north
I was at a good old british car boot sale on bank holiday monday. As usual I was on the lookout for cameras and photography related items when I happened upon a gem of a camera. I had found a black Pentax MX. Came with a Pentax 35-80 aswell. Quite lucky since I hardly find anything interesting at them. Was basically in perfect working order, signs of use ofcourse but that was it. So I inquired about the price. Got a bit of a shock. £5!!! Bargain of the century. So I did him a favour and took it off his hands. How could I not
So here I am. Thought i'd register and join the community and find some fellow Pentax users.
Happy shooting!
Chris
