Pentax Kx (pentax K-x)

The fuselage design of K-x is based on Pentax K-m released in June 5438+October 2008/KLOC-0. Its compact body and simple and humanized operation mode are widely praised. After adding a newly designed photosensitive CMOS and an upgraded high-performance imaging engine, K-x provides excellent image performance close to a higher level. It includes high-resolution imaging with about 6.5438+0.2 million effective pixels, ultra-high sensitivity and high-speed continuous shooting. K-x also has more advanced functions, including Live View live view shooting and video recording. In addition, K-x also provides interesting functions with simple operation and personalized photos: the upgraded digital filter function can provide more exquisite effects, and the newly added "positive and negative inversion" mode can make photos generate unique and interesting colors and obtain unexpected effects. K-x is not only an excellent product for SLR beginners, but also a backup machine for professional photographers. Product model: 135 manual focusing film SLR camera release date: 1975.

Production time: 1975- 1977 Pentax K series was produced in the mid-1970s. It is the first generation 135 SLR after Pentax abandoned Luokou and switched to K-type bayonet. There are four types of aircraft in this series, ranging from high performance to low performance, namely: K2, KX, KM, K 1000. They look so close that it's not even easy to tell them apart without looking at the model on the fuselage. The common features of this series of cameras are: firm and tough modeling, elegant and subtle, simple and practical functions, and absolutely nothing fancy and superfluous. In addition, it adopts all-metal structure, with few plastic parts, reliable and durable, and can be called a gentleman in the camera.

KX is a quite classic manual all-mechanical camera with metering. The most reliable curtain shutter, complete shutter speed, perfect metering, mirror lock, quick door lock, depth of field prediction, and even an external film winder, plus durability, can you think of anything to add to a purely manual and fully mechanical camera? It is worth mentioning that the viewfinder of KX also has an aperture direct reading window, which can directly see the aperture used by the camera, which is very convenient. Many people always regard K 1000 as the classic of Pentax manual machine, which is really a big mistake! The significance of K 1000 is that it provides enough functions and durability at a very low price, and KX is the truly perfect manual mechanical machine. Now in the second-hand market, the price gap between the two is not too big. Obviously, under the same color, it may be more worthwhile to spend a little more money on KX. Because it is very playable.
