Pentax MX for sale, purchased 2006 KEH lightly used since, would rated KEH BGN when I almost sold to KEH last year. MX $50.00
Could use CLA possibly with new mirror foam, etc.
Pentax M 50mm f1.4 also purchase KEH $40.00
Pentax 35mm f3.5 $60.00
Pentax gear is sitting in curio cabinet, rather than being used.
Love my MX. If I wasn't too much of a klutz to re-foam it myself I'd be tempted. Someone who's willing to do the foam themselves should snap this up. They're great cameras. I have fairly large hands but this small camera still feels the most natural to me of all the 35mm cameras I own.
I was given an MX last year. I liked it a lot but realised that I didn't really need another camera/lens system so I gave it to a friend's daughter who was getting into film photography.
If I didn't have any 35mm cameras, this is what I would get.
For $35 for an MX and $60 with the lens?!? That's a deal and a half. I would beg for you to ship to Canada, except I think that my wife would kill me if I bought another camera...really more so since I already have an MX. Someone should be all over this.
Congratulations to whomever got it ahead of me. You'll enjoy the MX, I guarantee. Watch for the winder, it really balances the package. But be careful with the battery door, it is a lousy piece of engineering.
