My very first SLR I ever used was my Dad's Pentax MX. I worked with that camera for a few years as I learned my way around the darkroom around 15 years or so ago. I have improved dramatically since those early days but it was still so much fun to learn. I used the camera again a few years ago when I wanted to start coming back to shooting film for personal work, and it was just like I remembered. I had picked up an ME Super for cheap as well so my younger sisters could learn about shooting film, and I was quite dismayed to learn that one of them had dropped the MX enough times that it was broken.I'd almost want to send it out for repair just for sentimental value.
That reminds me, I need to keep my eyes open for a couple of those!
I had some house brand from Cambridge in New York. I think it was Russian, but I can't really remember. It had a Pentax screw mount lens and a light meter that was in front of the prism just above the lens. I have no memory of what happened to it, however. I do remember getting a Pentax MX a few years later which was my first camera that I really used.
