AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Pentax KX was introduced in 1975. Like many of the Pentax cameras from this era, it is also known for its sturdiness and classic design. This analog camera must be fully manual and does not have automatic features. The Pentax KX operates mechanically and only requires batteries for the light meter. A very fine sturdy device, suitable for the more advanced photographer. Aesthetically it has a few signs of former use. I have installed new Varta batteries. The light meter is not functioning. I could not test the accuracy. Shutter speeds sound right by ear. Legendary Pentax with a rock-solid character.

See photos to get a good impression of the camera's condition; they are part of the description. You get what you see!

Shipping with DPD, GLS or DHL.

It is well packed and shipped quickly. We are not liable for extra taxes charged outside the EU and for returns if you are not at home.

Have a good auction and good luck!
