Well, I'd probably do that - buy another 35mm Pentax - the moment I sell
the Canon kit. Not before, since the $$ is not easy to come by lately.
:-/ And there is always a bigger brother (digital) to the DS... Well,
I'd better keep working, that's some cash to spend in gear, as soon as I
earn it. :-)
I have another Mx - ugly but in working order, meant as backup for the
Lx until said Lx failed to focus properly during one portrait session I
chose to do with ambient light and shallow DOF. Also lost some macro
work (focus again, the day before), and a night in the city when the
autoexposure quit. In a month I pretty much flunked all the shots I
tried using the Lx. I got shocked twice - when I got results form macro
& portrait, and later when I finished a rather nice nightfall with a
couple of digital previews and the will to kick myself for not carrying
the spare camera.
The funny about buying more 35mm - 2 cameras I'd chose are exactly the
Lx and the Pz1p - I love MLU and DOF preview. Toralf, can I tell my wife
I'm buying yet another camera on your advice???

I'm watching BR ebay-like sites, and right now is the wrong time to sell
anything 35mm around here - Pentax in particular.
Maybe this means that the best option is actually to buy another 35mm
Pentax, i.e. one that works? Another MX, perhaps, since you may have a
good "parts" camera for it already.
Problem aggravated by
the fact those cameras are not working and Pentax tech in BR is not so
near. I really don't know what to do.
Any ideas? Please???
PS: since I can't rely on just one camera, I accepted as payment for
some old debts a Canon EOS 500n + 50mm 1.8 and 28~80 whatever, the
camera in fair condition but lenses very good. I'd like to sell it and
pay the repair of one or two of those cameras, but that means only one
35mm camera until the repairs are successful (if). Or I could go the
evil way and purchase the PK~EOS adapter and keep it - too bad I hate
the damned viewfinder...
