Item Description
This is for an Pentax LX collection. The boxed body is new, all else is absolutely mint. Yes, the batteries are 30 years old and probably won't take a charge. Should be obvious. The motor drive is untested. This is collectable stuff folks. The bodies are new, no issues. One has the FD1 finder on it, the original finder is in the box. The carry case is not new, but is in very good condition.
I am the first and only owner of all this kit. I was an avid LX fan for many years. This was not bought as a kit, I assembled over time, essentially as a collection. None of the pieces saw use.
Now old age and health dictates sale. Many rare items. Please see list in pictures. PM for complete detailed listing and pictures of each individual item.
Price includes USA shipping. Will ship global, at buyers cost. Price is a bargain for all this rare lot.
Listing here first and bargain price for fellow forum members.
The two bodies alone are worth more than this folks.

Wonderful kit - this is only the 2nd time I’ve seen a kit in the original Pentax case for sale in years - the 1st time I saw one I bought it!

Good luck with the sale

Thank you for kind words. I was essentially an LX collector. I travelled widely and bought LX gear when found, NIB. Therefore, not a bought kit, but actually more. I have numerous Pentax SMC lenses that I acquired as well, all new, that I will list also separately.

What an excellent collection!! I have most of what you collected but mine is all used. I am amazed it is all new.
Loved using the LX back in the day before my *ist Ds.

The majority was obtained between 1989 and 1995. I used other camera systems at the time daily. I was, and am, enamored with the brilliance of Pentax design of the LX.

Wow, like yourself . I have always admired the LX system, however, this is the first time I have ever seen the travel case, good luck with the sale, the new owner will have some gems for sure.

omg. I wish I had a few thousand spare dollars, I am *loving* my dad's old LX (he gave it to me a few years before he passed away), and would buy this kit in a heartbeat if I could. Let me go sell some LF equipment and darkroom gear, then hope you're still looking to sell this...

Excellent collection. In 35 years of collecting Pentax have never seen one like this!

Great kit!
Question: Is the case custom made by you?

Lots of luck with your sale.

I agree it’s a great kit. It’s a factory case - I happen to have one as well.
