Recently I found a brand new MX in a dusty old photographic shop. When did Pentax cease manufacturing these wonderful cameras ?

Hi!

Looks like it was 1985 they stopped:

Lucky you to find a new MX . . . . . . Have you bought it? I have had mine since 1980 and its going strong. I keep hoping to make a find like yours..

yes I bought the MX - a new black body at £190 - it's a dream to use.

£190 in 2003 I guess that for BNIB one pays a premium.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

When did this site first appear on line? The OP shows as being a member for 48 years! Surely pre-internet?
Too far from a shore.

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, vintage lenses and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!

I guess that is what explains him finding a brand new MX!

It was a spam post that brought this thread back. The spam has been removed, but it did bring the post back to page 1 as a consequence. The OP dates back to 2003 and has long since gone.
Best regards, John
