Hey, just dropping in with a quick forum post so I can add some lens reviews.

my current Pentax gear:
-MX with a flaky meter

-SMC M 50/1.7
-SMC M 50/1.4
-Takumar Bayonet 135/2.5
-SMC K 300/4
-bad third-party teleconverter (still need a nice(r) first party one)

-some third party lenses not worth mentioning

Heretical bodies:
-Canon 5DmkII (nice with a pk-eos adapter ring)
-Canon 350D

-Yashica-mat (mid-70s, as far as I can tell. Late model, Copal MXV shutter.)

Hi and welcome from Australia. I have an MX and my meter went flaky many years ago. But there is a simple fix if it is the same problem. In my case it was a small brass tab (accessed through the bottom plate) which needed to be re-bent. I don't have the original instructions but this might help: Pentax MX Meter Fix

Welcome from New Zealand!

Those SMC lenses, at least, should be pretty decent (at least I have used M 50 f1.7 and f1.4 lenses and found them pretty capable).

Welcome to the forum. I had an MX as my first K mount camera. I'm still a Pentax guy.
