More Pentax on parade...Pentax MX

<p>The small size is one of the things I like about the MX. I often take mine hiking with me, and minimizing weight and bulk is a must.</p>

<p>Mike--Do you have any shots you can share from the 135mm f/3.5? It might also be one worth considering.</p>

<p>DC--It's nice to hear repeated praise of the MX's reliability. I will probably have mine serviced so that it lasts for a long time.</p>

<p>David--I also like the small size and all of the capability built into that small size.</p>

<p>Andy I started out with with first ME in 1976 and soon learned that the Mx fully manuel was the way to go.Since then I've had almost all the pentax bodys and still have my first mx I bought @KEH.Also I still kept my old spotmatic sm for when I break out my asahi 500 4.5 And my 135 2.8 </p>

<p>Andy- here's a few from the Pentax SMC M 135 mm f3.5. Naturally, it was attached to my MX.</p><div></div>

<p>The MX is great, thanks for the review. I really enjoyed it. I started my tiny Pentax itch with an ME, a lovely camera, but the electronics WILL and did stop working. Manual is the way to go. I was surprised to see that the MX is slightly bigger, I really hadn't noticed, but you are right. Again, thanks for the review. All the best!</p>

<p><strong>Danny</strong> --I'm still learning the nuances of the MX but I really like it a lot. Those Spotmatics are pretty sweet too!</p>

<p><strong>Mike</strong> --Wow, that 135 looks like a great performer. I'm going to have to add that focal length to my wish-list, which seems to grow a little everyday!<br>

<strong>Henry</strong> --Thanks for taking the time to look and for commenting. I've had a couple of MEs but I sold both. Naturally since I don't have them I want another one, just to add to my growing Pentax collection.</p>

<p>I've been using a couple of MXs for the last two years, always used the SMC M series 50mm 1.7. It handles wonderfully and despite a brief stint with rangefinders, I've found myself returning to it. It's well balanced and quick. Here are a few shots:</p><div></div>
