Welcome Keith,
I have always kept my father's Wallace Heaton "The Photographic Blue Book", dated July 1954 which contain the prices of that era, if you are looking for prices of that year, I'll try and help, Cheers

Personally, as I wear glasses, I find that focusing a WA suites me better with a RF rather than a SLR.
I could never do a proper framing with a 135mm on a RF, I can go as far as a 90mm. I guess the quality of my eyesight is the deciding factor.

I guess if explanation is requested, they will probably tell us that we should look at the small print of their rules.
Most of the time I never bother to look into the small prints and that 's what most of us do.

Dave, if you are around Mossiac, apart from their famous grapes, some of the hills behind are covered with sunflowers.
Just about 1km from my village, the sunflower stalks are growing in the fields.

As things are, and considering our age, 35mm films, papers, chemicals, etc will still be there after our expiration date.
This is good news for me as I enjoy dark room work, I do development (B & W) and printing at least once a week.

The fly gives added life to the photo, nice shots Roy.
Sun flower is cultivated extensively in our region, i. e. The Tarn & Garonne region, in summer, we have whole hillside full of them, an impressive sight.

The K series are a continuation from the Spotmatic era, similar weight and size and mechanical in design and operation, for Pentax purist probably the K series is a natural choice.
The K1000 was so successful that it was photography students choice as their tool for learning, being recommended by colleges as an ideal student's SLR of moderate cost. This camera had a long run even with the arrival of new cameras with improved technology.
With the M series we enter into a new era of plastics and electronics design, thus the bodies became smaller and lighter, suffering perhaps some stuctural weakness especially on the film transport.
If you can find an MX that has been little used, perhaps it will be prudent to opt for a KX.
