Hi, Katrin, First, let me add my welcome to the list, along with the others.
Second, $115US (or thereabouts) for an MX, with 50mm Pentax lens, 80-200 zoom and camera bags is an ~excellent~ price! It may be an even better deal than that, depending on the lenses. I'm assuming the 50mm lens is likely an M f2.0. If it's better than that (like a 1.7 or a 1.4, then you scored. I'm also assuming that the zoom is a piece of crap generic thing. If it's a brand-name one (maybe a Pentax?), then you scored big! I too have an MX, and I love it - it very quickly became my number one body (then again, I was using Spotmatics up to that point). You'll find that there are many on this list who are up on the latest equipment out there, but you'll also find many who still own, love and use their older equipment. You should be able to learn lots about your MX, your ME and photography in general here. Don't be afraid to ask questions. We're mostly a pretty friendly bunch. :-) regards, frank [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello! > thanks for the nice welcome ^_^ > I got my mx today, seems to be ok so far, although I have to buy > some batteries and haven't taken any pics yet.... only the Rapid- > Wind-lever or whatever it is called feels a bit strange at least > compared to my me...I paid 120 Euro (about 115 US$?) for the > body, a pentax 50mm lens, a 80-200 mm tele, a matching bag > (don't know how to call them in english) and a cute camera bag for > the camera and about two other lenses in red leather which is > probably as old as the camera... there were even uv filters on the > lenses but one is full of scratches...
