Self portrait with Pentax MX

It's my birthday, and Linda's got me this fantastic (and hard to find in black) Pentax MX. I've wanted one of these since I had my first SLR in the late 70's. These MX's were the best, while my Chinon was a cheap copy of something from the 60's.

This has manual / mechanical everything. The perfect antidote to today's ultra-automated battery dependent plastic toys!

I wonder if I could get a digital back for it????

Canon PowerShot G2
1/8s f/4.0 at 21.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I never know when it's your birthday! Couldn't you have it on Christmas day or something so I can never forget! I'm so glad you got your precious Pentax MX, maybe now you'll stop moaning at me for selling mine! Happy Late Birthday!! Lots of love, Jan XX
