Does it have the standard pentaprism?

Alan has done some super work on some of my lenses. Highly recommended.

I have a black MX too but despite a service from the famous Eric in Tennessee it still has an occasional slip when winding-on so the occasional frame has overlaps.

Lovely set but as has been said, no. 7 steals the show.

The first one is my favourite. Great place to visit. I was there a couple of years ago.

As much as I love the MX, it does have one weakness. My "silver" one fell all of a foot from the chair onto the carpet in my office. Sadly, it landed on the hotshoe, and now the pentaprism cover is a bit bent. Everything works perfectly, it just looks a little sad. I have seen lots of MXs with dents and dings in the pentaprism housing. It must be made of very thin metal!

I often see online the MX touted as one of Pentax's attempts at a "professional" camera. Somehow, I doubt anyone used to some of the tanks made by their rivals would swap to something with a top-plate made of tin foil.

Still... I love mine, dent and all!

What really makes me laugh is that having spent thousands on-top end gear, most of the photos get reduced to a 1000 pixels across and are looked at for half a second on a mobile phone smaller than an old fashioned 6x4 print from Boots...

Took mine round the world. LX with colour film, MX with BW. Lovely cameras both.
