The MX and K1000 are very well known and as we know, real work horses, but the KM is also a fully mechanical camera. I bought mine back in 1975 when it first came on the market and I still have it. I just felt I had to recommend it.

I owned one of the Porst 55/1.2 lenses and I was quite pleased with it. But one thing bugged me; When using it on my MZ-5, I couldn´t get the focusing indicator led to light up when foucusing. Not really a problem, but it felt like the lens was too soft wide open for the camera to register the focus.
Yes, I´m just my guessing here, but when switching to an SMC 50/1.2 later on, the focus indication worked just fine with it.

The Porst 55/1.2 was made by Fuji, according to my camera rapair man. He´s been in the trade for about 40 years, so I guess I´ll just have to take his word for it.
