Motor drive only, same as the MX > As well, I have happened upon two bulk backs.

This is for using the bulk back without a motor drive, i..e. it connects the bulk back to the rapid wind lever. Absolutlely essential if you don't have the motor drive. The instructions for the MX bulk back are available as a PDF on the Pentax USA site. As you can probably tell there isn't much difference between the MX back and the LX back. Unfortunately the PDF is a bit hard to understand in points because the compression has made the diagrams are almost impossible to see - they seem to be 1 bit rather than grey scale. I have the instrcutions for the LX bulk film magazine, so if you are really pressed I could photocopy them and send them to you. By the way, the acessories (cartrdiges and loader) are the same as the Nikon, Canon, Minolta etc versions, only the actual camear backs are different.
