Hi there, it's my first post since my welcomes and introductions topic a few months ago (https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/29-welcomes-introductions/276127-parisian.html) ! I've had quite a long time to take some new photos (8 rolls total, 2 only back when I subscrided). I tested the smc-M 50 1.7 and smc-K 28 3.5 (what a jewel) with joy. I'll probably be posting some photos into the cool let's see those film shots forum soon. The following picture was taken with my MX and 50 1.7 on Ektar 100. MX, which by the way shows some signs of need for a CLA since the meter doesn't wanna work anymore (I think it's just a small electric contact issue).
A Few weeks ago, as my MX wasn't working properly, I happened to look at pictures of black Pentaxes, with designs I kinda fell in love with. I happenned to find a cheap black KX (30 euros, which makes it 35/40 dollars, I guess ?). After checking with the seller, everything seemed right and so I bought it. It has some brassing on the edges but I really don't think it diminishes its charm, quite the opposit in fact. I like the way it feels in hand, it is strong. The match needle meter display is so nice. Overall it just has everything I need (plus the mirror lock which the MX didn't have) and it's wonderfull. The first roll of film is currently running through it as write, i'm really looking forward to the results. No more talks, here's the picture (by the way it's coupled with the K serie 28mm f3.5).
