There's what appears to be a clean *black* MX with 50 1.7 and MX winder locally right now - he's on the north side or I'd grab it. He still had it as of this morning and the ad's almost a week old.
Less than $200 for all!

Grumble... trying to figure a way of getting this myself!!! I had a pair of black MXes before I got my first news job and had to switch to Nikon back in the 70s, and always liked them.

My M5s need red dots!
Grab it and then place your D70 in the classifieds here. I remember you love these cameras, so it's a nice treat!

The D70s went to live with its new foster family a few weeks ago, but this is cheap enough that I'm not too worried. An MX is a marvel of the Japanese camera maker's art ca. 1976!

Ahhh.. the lovely Pentax MX - I so wanted one of those - I actually had an LX at one point in time - truly a beautiful and remarkable camera. I think it was the only camera I ever used that metered the way it did.... awesome camera... sad to see it go.

My Pentax MX count...2 Black Bodies w/Winders (1 Recently CLA'd) and 1 Chrome all have the 50mm 1.7
I also have a couple of Vivitar Series 1 lenses in the K mount and a few M42's with the adapter...
Somebody grab this one...

Was it on Craig's list? I must have missed it....
Craig's list is dangerous for GAS... I had to pass up a Leica V35 enlarger last week, decent price and VERY close to home. Too soon after buying my first M, the wife just couldn't understand why I needed MORE

Fiscal sanity reigned. I took a pass.
It's still on Craigslist if anyone's interested - $170 for black MX, 50/1.7 and Winder MX. Sigh.

What is the advantage of the MX over say, an OM1?

In the US, Erik seems to have the same reputaion for Pentax as Sherry and DAG do for Leica.

Other than the Zuiko versus Super Takumar debate.
Some people swear by the takumars, never used pentax myself.

I have tried out many lenses, and I have finally returned to stock up on Pentax lenses for the SLR system. They really are that good.

Oh.. if any of you need a CLA on a pentax SLR - I strongly suggest you check out the PDML (Pentax Discussion Mailing List) - there are a number of Leica owners on it as well.
It was, when I was on it and likely still, the busiest mailing list around.
