ust bought a Pentax again to relive my youth, first bought and used an Mx back in 1981, just managed to grab this with original boxes

Mx body and original box and instructions

40mm with original box and lens case

135mm with original box

soft case

and I still have a winder upstairs in the loft, very happy indeed

thanks for all the replies chaps, now l realise using classic manual SMC M glass has limitations etc on digital bodies but which digital body best lends itself towards using the 'vintage' pentax glass

You're still with it, right here.

The Pentax Club ran along under Ron Splillman, then Peter Cox Associates and finally with Peter Bargh and Magezine Publishing. Thus from that came this website and eventually the actual printed magazine became uneconomic to continue. So here we all are, web only, but where The Pentax Club exists, now as Pentax User.

woah small world, l must admit l found the Pentax club and its printed magazine great to be part of and likewise this forum , both great places to while away a few hours

In 1979 /early 1980 l got into Pentax and became the owner of a Pentax MV and l joined the Pentax owner club, l fondly remember the magazine (quarterly l think), a great read, does the club still exist or did it eventually close down, l never got the badge at the time, but have just discovered a vintage one on sale for £4.00 and snapped it up for old time sake

Do people tend to shoot their M glass on film bodies these days or on digital bodies?

To my shame I've given up on film quite a while ago But M on D can produce some superb results

nothing to be ashamed of, as long as your still using pentax,

The M 200 f4 is well worth the low price they fetch.

Classic Pentax M, compact and beautifully built. Definitely worth adding to you bag!

most definately will add a 200/4 to my lens group
