bruce_varner3 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I own a Pentax MX that I am cleaning up. I saw what looked like spider web around the prism. Removed the top cover, and upon removing the prism, discovered that the inside of the prism itself is cracked in a spider web manner. Question is, can I use the prism from an old Pentax MX that I have sitting around to replace the existing prism in the MX? Thought I would not bother to try if I am told it is not the same size & shape…….. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce_varner3 Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Ok, I screwed up. Should read: can I use the prism from an old Pentax :"ME" that I have sitting around to replace the existing prism in the MX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce_varner3 Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Someone suggested comparing the parts numbers between the two camera models. It appears they are the same. Now to see if the switch actually works........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Seaman Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Good luck with it. Hard to see how this could happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
