New to my collection Pentax LX and Spotmatic F

[sruddy]

The other day a camera club friend gave me the Pentax Spotmatic F and a few days later the LX arrived from an owner in CA. I originally had a Spotmatic that I inherited, along with 15 other cameras, from my Dad. Then I wasn’t interested in collecting and had an opportunity to make some money selling his Spotmatic and several lenses. Now I wish I wouldn’t have, but if it’s still around I maybe able to trade this one to get my Dad’s back.
The LX came in dead but it was just the mirror stop that got sticky. I used a thin piece of sticky backed velvet. This fixed the sticky mirror issue and restored infinitely focus as well so I’m very happy. Now if the meter and shutter are still accurate will be a bonus.

I always admired the LX.
It was a favorite of Barry Thornton.

Congratulations!

If you didn't already, the LX is capable of making very long aperture priority autoexposures if you're into that.
