What I love about this model is that it doesn't feel like a 'small' camera when you look through the viewfinder; the view is so large and immersive that it rivals professional bodies twice its size. It’s a rugged, honest piece of Japanese engineering that is widely considered the best mechanical SLR Pentax ever made. The 50mm f\/1.7 lens included here is a 'sweet spot' optic—sharper than the f\/1.4 version and incredibly compact. For anyone looking for a 'forever' film camera that is a joy to carry every day, even with the honest wear of a used vintage tool, the MX is the gold standard.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePentax MX\u003c\/b\u003e 35mm SLR Body (S\/N: 4186591)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSMC Pentax-M 50mm f\/1.7\u003c\/b\u003e Lens (S\/N: 2933501)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003eBrand: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003ePentax (Asahi Optical Co.)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003eModel: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eMX\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003eCamera Type: 35mm SLR Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\"\u003eLens Mount: Pentax K-mount (PK)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0\"\u003eShutter Speeds: 1s – 1\/1000s + B (Fully Mechanical)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,5,0\"\u003eLens: 50mm f\/1.7 SMC Pentax-M\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,6,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
