My latest DSLR is a S/H Pentax K5, I started with DSLRs with a Nikon D70 I then had a D100 and D200 before buying a D3 which I didn't like so jumped ship to Canon and got a 5D before getting a 5DMk2 and a 1DSMk3. After reverting back to film I sold my DSLRs and Lenses and invested in a pair of LXs (had always wanted one since the early 80s) and a bunch of SMC and Tamron glass.

When I decided I needed another DSLR it was a no brainer to buy a Pentax as I was able to continue to use the glass I already had.

Had it a week now and am very pleased with it.

I've got a MX you can have for £55 including shipping. Had new seals only thing wrong with it is that the little black bit at the end of the on-off switch is missing. Drop me a message with your email address and I'll send you some pictures.

I have decided to sell one of my Pentax LX Cameras serial number 52992** with FA-1 Prism Finder.

This will come with Genuine Pentax LX Leather EverReady Case, strap complete with genuine Pentax Lugs & body cap. I will also include an additional focusing screen.

This LX was fully CLA'd with repair on 16/01/13 at a cost of £125 at Harrow Technical and a great job Robin made of it. It is a fully operational and fully functioning LX in very nice condition.

The Camera does have some rub marks/light scratches on the FA-1 Prism and a few paint chips on the edges of the baseplate, but no dents or dings and you have the added security of knowing it is still under warranty (I will supply the invoice along with the camera).

Looking for £260 including RMSD in UK, PayPal fees additional if required.

Looking for £250 plus shipping and PayPal fees in the Rest of the World.

Pictures make it look a lot worse than it actually is.

My 35mm Outfit consists of an MX, a Super A and a pair of LXs. If I am doing low-light or tripod work I use an LX if moving around the MX or Super A.

I do like the 1/2 stop metering on the MX though. If I am going somewhere where cold is an issue I will take an LX or the MX.

Trouble is though I rarely do any 35mm stuff anymore as I much prefer using my LF cameras for my personal stuff.

First: Very Nice M42 screw thread outfit, Pentax Spotmatic SP1000 with Yashinon 50mm f1.4, Tamron 28mm f2.5 and Tamron 80-210, both Tamron lenses have M42 Screw Mounts. All items in very good, fully working condition (except that the stop-down pin of the 50mm has been glued to enable use on a DSLR, doesn't effect its use on the SP1000 though). Looking for £60 plus shipping/fees for the outfit (the Yashinon lens cost me more than that alone).

Secondly: 2x Pentax ME Super Cameras and a Pentax Super Program (US version of Super A) Camera complete with a PKA fit Takumar 28mm f2.8 and a Ricoh 35-70 zoom. All of these cameras have some issues, one of the ME Supers is very nice but the ASA dial is stuck on 400, the other ME Super also has some issues but I can't remember what and the Super Program frequently fails to show the exposure information in the viewfinder although for a while this morning it worked perfectly. Looking for £35 plus shipping/fees for it all. Harrow Technical will CLA the Super Program for £65 and the MESupers for £55 so a few nice cheap K bodies can be had for not too much outlay.

As previously stated I am in the UK (Plymouth), collection is an option if required.

Photos can be supplied on request as can some more information. Please PM with email address if photos are required.
