| Latest Review Posted | Pentax MX
This is my favourite analogue camera for infrared photography. Solid and really beautiful in black and chrome. I also use it as alternative camera in my holidays in the alps, if my digital camera doesnīt work because its battery is exhausted. It is light weighted and all my lenses are useable on the MX and my Sony A7 with Novoflex adaptor unit. Ok, 500g additionally in my backpack, but youīll never walk alone with this good oldschool "friend" - safety first!
In connection with the M series lenses, there are only less subjects, you canīt manage with the MX.
The only point I donīt agree with the Pentax engeneers of the seventies is the
beginning influence of plastics.:fedup: The viewfinder window of the MX is very poor and doesnīt suit to the sturdy body of camera. The viewfinder itsself is very bright, I like it very much in using it with dark filters, because I am always able to see enough to shoot.
A really legendary camera - similar to the Nikon FM and the following FM2.
Its a great pity, that you have to buy such cameras in used condition, because
you must have a little bit luck to get a long lasting one.
Good luck!:)
