This camera is a no brainer, simple and quick.
I've lost count on how many years I have owned mine.
I just wish Pentax would come up with a manual digital "RAW" DSLR, without a menu to plod through, and leave us photographers to get on with the shot.

Me too, a basic DSLR which takes a 'K' mount manual lens would be great.

Nice set of lenses, like the use of the carry matt for the back ground Kris.

Thanks, I've had the MX & LX since 1978 & 1981 respectively with a 28mm, 50mm & 70 - 150mm lenses and have added a few more items over the years. Last year I got a K-r as my first DSLR, but I still prefer the older film cameras for things like how big & bright the view finder is and simplicity of the controls.

Thank you Graham! I have read a lot of good things about Harrow Technical on this forum, I might very well end up using them.

Just got my MX & LX back off Harrow Technical, they have done a very good job. Both cameras are just as they were 30 years ago when I first got them

I've just got back in to photography after a 30 year break, my old film bodies are a MX & an LX with a range of pentax lens from 28mm to 80-200mm zoom.

I too went for a K-r with the 18-55mm lens plus the 80-200mm in a bundle, I'm realy pleased with the results it produces.


I'm currently looking at getting my MX & LX serviced as I intend to do a bit of B&W film as well.
