depending on the shop. The place that charged $150 got everything right the first
time, the $45 took a couple of retries. You get's what you pay for sometimes.

Hi!
Thanks for the advise. From what you say it follows that MX is indeed
the right choice of a camera. As for the focusing screen, I will deal
with that too. At least MX unlike ME Super allows to change focusing
screens.
What is average CLA price for MX?

There are 2 issues here - viewfinder brightness & screen brightness. The MX
screen is good in its own era, and still bright if you use fast primes (like
I do). However, f4 or slower lenses will start to make manual focus
difficult without split image. On the other hand, the viewfinder
magnification of ME Super and MX are the highest. If you want the brightest
and easiest manual focus viewfinder, install the F?-6? screens which were
released along with LX2000, in MX and you have the highest magnification and
brightest viewfinder of any Pentax 135 cameras. However, be prepared a CLA
for any used MX you newly purchased.
