Was testing some lenses before listing them the other day, and my subject was my Pentax MX...

Gorgeous specimen!
Anything I should look out for when mine arrives..? yes, I’ve plumbed for one!
Has been used frequently even up until recently so not too concerned.

Always got a soft spot for the MX. First proper camera.....and still going strong 40 years on.

Love mine too. The first image is my favourite.

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

I got mine Christmas 1979, it was my last Christmas with my farther who passed away a few months later. So my MX is extra special to me.

And it’s arrived! Needs new light seals soon but otherwise everything looks great! tried it with the batteries from the OH’s OM-10 and meter works so that’s great - my SR44 batteries should be arriving around Friday!

Need to find some light seals or someone to help me with light seals now!
