Nice little Pentax MX all manual camera. Shutter sounds accurate, meter is spot on. I think this is one of the nicest Pentax manual film cameras. Cosmetic condition is exc+. The lens is a very good fast 1.4 lens and is clean. I will ship and I take PayPal.

The lens diagram for this Pentax-M 50 mm f/1.4 looks just like the diagram of the SMC Takumar M42 lens. Both have 7 elements. The latter is a superb lens, and I'm sure the M is, as well. The later Nikkor 50 1.4 used a similar 7 element design.

I've never researched it but I also have the 50mm/1.4 in M42 mount. Based on pictures I've taken I have to believe they're the same.
