Pentax MX with 50mm F/1.4 (Black) (USED)
Introduced in 1976, the MX features a new compact body design that is databack, motordrive and autowinder capable. It's one of the last fully mechanical cameras ever made. The word Asahi is engraved on prism housing. The light meter turns on when you pull the advance lever away from the body or press the shutter release button half way down. To save power the meter automatically turns off after several seconds and whenever you move the advance lever flush against the body. The MX uses: two MS76 style batteries.
