Hi- I've just arrived here! I have no previous Pentax experience other than borrowing my sister's Spotmatic in the 70s and briefly handling an MX that I bought to give to someone (and probably should have kept for myself ....).
I like this vintage of film SLR and have several older bodies and lenses from other manufacturers, alongside modern equipment. I'm somewhat drawn to Pentax now because I keep reading about the bokeh of Pentax lenses (an important consideration for me) and now they make a DSLR that accepts the old lenses AND has antishake. For now I'm thinking of getting either an MX or a KX. I know the basic specs of both. Is there any reason I should be avoiding either of these- or looking for any particular problems with either model? Are there any technical issues arising nowadays after 30 odd years of use- for example, is the smaller MX nowadays considered to be any less solid or reliable than the KX? Does one have a noticeably better viewfinder/screen than the other? Any other such issues would be of interest.
