I would pay you $21 for just the MX. Would even mail you my shutter release cable.

What M42 adapter is on the camera? Is it a genuine Asahi adapter or third party?

I just made a picture of it but I don't know if it is genuine (it was not stuck, a good sign), perhaps you can tell, thanks.

Great find! That Yashica lens is quite good, very sharp and with a nice rendering. I had one not long ago. Enjoy the new kit!

Thanks, I will definitely test it (my first m42 lense

).

Very Nice ! Congrats !
I just scored a very nice K1000 and 35-70 lens this morning at a yard sale across the street for $18 not even 15 minutes ago !
Popped in a battery and it works perfect.
Was coming here to show off and YOU beat me to it !

Nice set too, I was very very lucky to find this at that price.

I count now 6 shutter release at home, I thing it's enough (don't tell my wife!)

By the way, should I keep the K1000 or the MX?

Definite SCORE !!!! Just the adapter alone is worth a minimum of $20. I see now its not an original Pentax....still worth a bit anyway.

It's a third party adapter.

My thought as well. My eye went immediately to the MX as the plum of the deal and then to the Yashinon. Those two + a genuine adapter would make it a grand slam deal IMHO.

Brand-X, but still an excellent deal.

It looks like a third party adapter with the locking spring. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad adapter, I have several that work just as well as my genuine adapters.
