Pentax MX

Pentax MX with SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/2 lens. This camera also comes with a camera strap! In 1976, Pentax introduced two compact 35mm SLRs, the MX and the ME. The Olympus OM-1 presented in 1972, introduced a new trend for compactness in SLR cameras. The Pentax MX was a mechanical camera, with a horizontal cloth focal plane shutter from 1s to 1/1000, synchronised at 1/60. The shutter dial was on the top plate, next to the advance lever and the release button. The Pentax MX had a 0.97× viewfinder, covering 95% of the field. The shutter speed and aperture value were visible in the finder, the aperture being read on the lens ring by way of an optical device. ~Perfect for a beginner through to professionals!
