The Pentax MX Asahi

[Weaving Wax]

I just bid on a Pentax MX Asahi and I was wondering if anyone has ever used one. I only bid $20 so if it doesn't work out well or, is a piece of crap, I didn't lose much. It's obviously a film camera so I won't be taking 10,000 shots all at once, but thats ok because I'm not click happy and will be ok with only like 24 shots or so at a time. It comes with a roll of Kodak Gold 400 ISO color film.. So...just wanted some opinions..

Here is the bid: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=009&item=190024043358&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT&rd=1

If in good and working condition, the Pentax MX is an excellent camera.

It's a well built, mechanical camera that will function without batteries (except for the light meter). A beautiful thing in my opinion.
