Pentax MX 35mm Film Camera with 50mm F2 Lens. 

The Pentax MX is a hidden gem among the Pentax collection of cameras. It is small, has a nice balance of features and functions, and keeps shooting simple. 

The Pentax MX is the smallest fully manual metered SLR camera to be made. It’s even smaller than the Olympus OM1!

Originally designed to appeal to the professional photographer in 1976, this camera was made to give the user full control, with nothing automatic about it. The Pentax MX has manual focus, manual exposure, and fully manual flash. 

The performance and functionality of this beautiful piece of machinery is outstanding and surprisingly simple.

By the way, protect your camera for 1-2 years with our protection plan. We cover all boo boos at no cost to you.

When it comes to the Canon AT-1 35mm film camera, you can’t go wrong. It’s easy to learn the fundamentals of shooting film with this camera. All you have to do is put it on a strap and walk out the door! (PS we sell straps too!)

    How We Grade Our Cameras

    We restore, test, and clean all of our cameras to ensure that despite its age, your Cute Camera works as well as it would have if purchased it in 1976. This means that you’ll be able to capture your soulmate’s smile, your puppy dog’s eyes, or the sunset of your last day at college – straight out of the box. 

    VERY GOOD:

    A "very good" body will have minimal signs of wear and tear. Examples include slight impurities like  worn leather or metal, signs of age on the bottom plate, and dull marks. 

    GOOD:

    A “good” body will also look nice but have some additional potential cosmetic wear such as spots with discoloration,  worn down metal or small scratches somewhere on the body.

    AVERAGE:

    An “average” body will be a more severe case of cosmetic wear like more extreme discoloration or worn down metal, exterior or interior black
    specs, deeper scratches, or lines in the eye prism.

    The item was in excellent condition and considering it's a vintage camera that's more than 40 years old I don't have any complaints.

    Cosmetically it's nearly perfect however the viewfinder's coatings had some damage around the edges that makes using it with the sun to my back a little more difficult because of reflections in my peripheral vision.

    An absolute gem of a camera

    Ordered my Pentax MX from Cute Camera Co. the packaging it came in was a cute surprise so fun to open. This camera will be a treasure to hold for years to come. Honestly surprised by how clean and good condition it is. Came with a lens/lens cap, that’s basically brand new. Shot a whole roll of film thru it and everything is very sound. Highly recommend Cute Camera Co.
