Just a reminder that PU is for Pentax images only, but we'll let that one in as an example of black and white film. Please try and show examples shot on Pentax equipment.

The MX is spot on with the exception of the lens mount which appears to have some discolouration - can this be replaced?
I would expect it can, but the cost might be out of proportion. I would put up with it if it's only cosmetic as it will always be covered by a lens.The MX is spot on with the exception of the lens mount which appears to have some discolouration - can this be replaced?

Don't forget not to be in too much of a hurry after taking a shot. If the camera is displaying an image in review mode then the shutter dial won't work until it's stopped showing an image. Then it might give more than one jump of the shutter speed or aperture, depending on how far you turned the wheel before it was ready.
Just a thought.

If you look at the back of your Pentax lenses you will see the construction and be able to compare it with any other lens. A K mount will be quite distinctive.
As for which type, the essential bit will be are there electronic contacts or not. If there are, then full metering will be easy with DSLRs. If not, it's down to stop down metering and some limitations in accuracy.

Black and white films have character and this can be emphasised to suit using various developers. Then it can be further enhanced by using different papers, again in different paper developers...
Black and white photography is a whole field for experimentation until you find the combination that you like.
My favourite combination was Kodak Tri-X developed in Paterson FX-39, an acutance developer that makes for crisp grain structure. Then for preference I would use Agfa paper.
However, your favourite combination could be quite different.

Why not? All that's happening is that the AF system is working to confirm a focus point. I'd give it a try and see what happens.
