So I have been deeply infected by the Pentax bug. A pentax ME Super was my first camera and I had a few of them and a K1000, and an LX when I left the brand years ago (2002) to enter the digital age. I had thought about getting back into film for a couple of years and had always wanted an MX so in September, I found a beautiful black example for the princely sum of $250 so I grabbed it. Now I have two MXs, an ME SE, an ME Super, two SVs. I also have a bunch of glass now too including a Super Tank 300 F4, a couple k mount 50mms, a k mount 200mm, etc.
Once I got the first SV in my hands, I fell in love with the M42 bodies so I began making plans to add an AP, a K, and an S to the collection. Well, after buying my second SV last night, I woke up this morning to find this K on eBay. I had been watching and following prices here and on eBay for a few weeks and this one looked pretty good at the price so I jumped on it. I'm just wondering if it looks like this is complete with everything that originally came in the box. The warranty card lists the lens and body S/Ns and they match the hardware in the pictures included in the auction so that's a plus. The one item that seems out of place to me though is the case. Did the K come with a black case or was it brown like many of the others from the era? Is this possibly the original case? No matter really. At $100 shipped, I didn't think I could really go wrong. I'm just curious.
