Bought Another Pentax M Body

webestang64 · Jan 12, 2016

I figure I can always use another Pentax. I'm happy it came with the Pentax 75-150 compact zoom and 28mm.
For $70 I got all this stuff, the body needs a bit of cleaning but still retains the protective film on the bottom. Guy at work I bought it from said he used it for about 2 years and it's been in the closet ever since.

As you can see, replacing the batteries is an extremely complex and difficult operation requiring nerves of steel:

CAUTION: HANDLE THE BATTERY WITH A DRY CLOTH

Good thing it doesn't use mercury batteries or you'd have to wear a hazmat suit to change them.

Check the housing of battery compartment. Often there is a picture how to place batteries correctly.

Would you be interested in a Pentax ZX-M body?
