我刚刚买了一台Pentax mx, 看了你的视频学到很多知识。非常感谢🙏！

Super informative video. Thank you. Some literature discusses different focusing screens. For example, as an old-time Pentax user, I like the split image focusing screen. Is it possible to set up the screen for this kind of focusing?

The Pentax ME is slightly smaller than the MX !

Cool video, thanks

What a beautiful tool. I love dslrs.

Thank you for this wonderful visual history. I love PENTAX cameras. Have been buying several bodies from K100D to K3 Mk II. I have introduced PENTAX to 50-60 people. PENTAX should have worked more aggressively on the Marketing. The HOYA period got the company a lapse. The AF has been an issue up to K3 Mk II.

Fantastic overview video, every new owner will get lots out of this, much clearer than the camera manual. The tip about software to convert the negatives was also appreciated. Thank you :)

R u single?

Very clear and very useful. Thank you

cant use on my DA70mm

Fabulous video - thanks so much. Thinking of buying one of these instead of adding a 40MP Fuji to our studio systems. Can an external HDMI field monitor be used with stills/live view work or does it only output video and image reviewing? Thanks!

You're amazing, thank you.

This setup might be perfect for 16mm or 110 film, as 35mm is way too big.

I still think of the MX which I used with M 50mm/1.7, M 135/3.5 and Soligor 28mm/2.8, even now. I am using the lenses on my DSLRs and Mirrorless.

There is no need to advance the frame counter manually. It will advance itself, but be careful not to move it yourself because it is easily moved back and forth.

When I started 35mm photography I lusted after a Spotmatic but all I could afford was a Praktica FX3

Hi! I’m thinking about spending a good chunk of change on one of these, but just to be clear (and, this might be a stupid question - I’m so sorry) can this camera operate without batteries? The light meter is a really cool thing but can I just work with it manually? Thank you so much :3

Fantástico

Do you mean the issue mainly using crop sensor? Because I’ve used full frame Nikon FX for ages on a Nikon PB-4 Quadro rail bellows w/ good results & to light i always use flash to control light & fix WB to control negative hue. And using an art or macro lens made for flatness reproduction. I started initially with an actual and larger lens. Nikon EL Nikkor 50/2.8 It’s probably better. Made for bellow focus low element count

Does it function work in the k1 ii model?

Nice 8 element super Takumar 50mm f1.4

Thanks for the video, it's really helpful. 👍

Great video! I'm going to pick up mine Pentax SP today ❤! It will go great with super - takumars!

Ok rly liking this. Very similar to my Nikon F2 system. Now I wanna experience their pro level top tier autofocus system but not necessarily as new we the MZ-S sharing K & KAf lenses. What models ?

I bought a used LX in the late 90's, and ordered a new bottom plate that was damaged, and a focus screen with etched grid patterns. It was a very nice camera.

I'm really struggling to follow this because you go so fast that I have to keep stopping and repeating. press the exposure button??? What do you call the exposure button?? activate the camera's light meter??? Is that the shutter button you pressed...?? and it will provide us with a suggested shutter speed to produce the proper exposure...?? ..I don't see where this suggestion shows - only the bin icon? So I have no idea after all that

Awesome review. I just came across 1 & was initially wanting the metal reloading cassettes out of the kit but realised how cool it was & I recognised already how its feels like a baby 67 MLU with its macro bellow kit & slide adapter and all.

Hi!! So I'm shooting my first ever roll of film on this and I'm having a bit of trouble with the take up spool - the first couple of photos were taken just perfect and the take up spool spinned every time, but after a while it stopped spinning despite the film seeming to be inserted correctly (the counter on top that numbers the pics was going correctly and I believe the film had wound up enough to not get loose inside the cam). Could it be okay?

Wow. Lots of info , thanks. For me it needs to be in a book. Too much to absorb and remember. Thanks again.

Thank you so much! This is so informative

can i ask if you know which pentaprism from other cameras can be replaced with spotmatic sp1? my spotmatic had desilvering. pls helppp T_T

So, did I understand correctly that the aperture priority mode cannot be used with vintage lenses with K mount? What about TAv mode? Can one use it with all vintage lenses?

Nice video, one thing came into my mind, if the meter needle is at the center and does not move at all, then you have a dead battery or broken meter. Fortunately the battery is very cheap type, a LR44 or equivalent.

Is there any benefit of the PEF over the DNG Format beside its is proprietary?

Fastest Pentax is still the mighty K20D in that fancy 21fps mode :D :D

I use another camera system, so I am asking if Pentax modern lens mount is called Pentax K for modern and old lenses ? disregarding about af comptability etc. just in order to mount the lens and recognize the correct adapter for mount modern pentax lens on mirrorless, thanks

Well. You could take that photo IN Jasper without light pollution now... Jokes aside, this has been a super useful video and I just picked up my own o-gps1 for my K50!

Спасибо.

I'm a beginner to photography. I know absolutely nothing! But I want to get started right away. What kind of film should I buy? Color or B&W. I have a Spotmatic SPII

You should never ever do it at home! It's one of the most delicate parts that is easily scratched. Always send your camera to a professional service center.

It really is a star not an asterisk because it is 5-pointed, not 6-pointed. :)

do you have a link to those tweezer and finger gloves? I can't find it online

Just ordered one from KEH for $100. I already have the Pentax 55mm F1.8 screw mount lens. Can’t wait to get it in and shoot the first roll. Which will be Kodak TRI-X 400 film.

Excellent work. Congratulations.

oof... An f2 50 on the LX. Unacceptable.

5:51 it's I.S.O... not "eye-so". It's an acronym not a word.

SIR!! This video is PERFECT. My goodness!! Awesome work.

Can I change the focusing screen on my K-r with that from a vintage Pentax (the ones that have split circle focusing screen)? Are they the same size?

I have it for so many years I can't remember when I got it, with the 40 pancake and the nice 20mm. my sister and dad had also one, so to silver and one black MX. my dad still had all the old lenses and gave it to me, so I got the Pentax K1 markII and I'm still using these nice lenses, think I only have one autofocus lens but most of the time I grab my old glass. only one of all the lenses is not working properly, the 85 has stiff aperture blades, but the rest is still going very strong

A most excellent tutorial. Thanks for posting :)
