Pentax K-Mount Cameras
My first K-Mount camera was a Pentax LX. Later I acquired a MX as a spare body before I changed to digital and started collecting cameras.

Pentax K
In 1975 Asahi Optical introduced a new line of cameras with the new K bayonet mount. The K-Series had four different models, the K2, KX, KM and K1000, plus some motordrive versions.
Pentax K2
The K2 was the top model when the K-Series was introduced in 1975. I featured aperture priority or manual mode, an electronic controlled metal shutter that even works without battery in manual mode, DOF preview, and mirror lock-up.
In 1976 Asahi Optical added a motordrive version, the K2 DMD.
1975 - 1977

When introduced in 1976, the M-Series were the smallest SLR available.

A wonderful mechanical camera. Manuel mode only, silk shutter.

Pentax LX
In my opinion Pentax masterpiece. Interchangeable viewfinders, hybrid shutter, mechanical construction, mirror lockup, TTL flash, off-the-film metering and much more. Truly a “pro” camera.
