STUDENTS: You are considering the manual-focus Pentax ZX-M 35 mm SLR camera with a genuine SMC Pentax-A 50 mm f/2 Standard Prime Lens pictured. As you can tell, everything is in fantastic, almost new condition and works exactly as it should. Cosmetically, this one is almost flawless. I see a couple of VERY light rubs in the finish and not much else. This example is special.



Features of this fully manual camera include shutter speeds ranging from 1 second to 1/2000 plus B, rugged construction (not found in many modern cameras), an Exposure Compensation Dial, a built-in auto-winder with two Film Advance Modes, a Self Timer, Exposure Lock, a Flash Hot Shoe and more. This is the modern-day equivalent of the venerable Pentax K1000 but with updates.



This is a great first camera for your budding photography student to learn with. And it is so nice, it will also make a fine addition to your collection. It has been in mine for years but I am running out of room (I have perhaps 125 different cameras! YIKES!) so it has to go to a new home where it will be appreciated for what it is; a fine imaging machine. Of course, everything works as new. I'm asking $179 for this very capable camera. FREE shipping too.



All you'll need are batteries and film and this kit is ready to shoot!



Remember: price includes FREE shipping (Free for you. I still have to pay for it) so PLEASE have reasonable price expectations.



When you buy from a small mom and pop business, you are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home. You are helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a mom or dad put food on the table, a family pay a mortgage or a student pay for college. Our customers are our shareholders, and they are the ones we strive to make happy. Thank-you for supporting your local Small Businesses.



Please be sure to read this ENTIRE listing for important information regarding the condition of this item and the shop's sale requirements.



Also, please 'like' ACECameraExchange Facebook page to see all the latest additions to this collection (and there are many additions each day!).



And let's not forget about your ILC Interchangeable Lens Compact camera otherwise known as the 'Mirrorless Camera System' that is so popular these days. With the correct lens mount adapter, you can use this lens on just about any ILC Mirrorless camera. Being able to mount the lens with an adapter does not guarantee 100% compatibility with your camera. Communication errors (both mechanical and electrical) are possible. B&H has a ton of these adapters starting around $20. Get a few of these and then the sky's the limit. You'll have hundreds of new lens options! I will include both caps and/or a UV filter if I have them.



Please have a good look at the picture(s) for cosmetic condition details. All items will be delivered as pictured. Please don't assume anything additional is included. If you need to know about something specific, please message me and I will answer your questions. Keep in mind that almost all of what I sell has been previously owned, and as such, you should expect to see at least some evidence of use. To the best of my ability, I note all significant cosmetic and operational flaws that I see. It is possible that there are additional flaws that I am not aware of. Any included batteries fall into this category. Batteries are a gamble, and their performance is not guaranteed unless I specifically say that they are working perfectly. If you are concerned about certain aspects of this item, be it cosmetic or functional, you must ask (about them) before you make the purchase. For that reason, all items are sold as-is. If you would like a more detailed description, feel free to contact me (before you decide to purchase) and I will answer your questions.



This item would be the perfect gift for the shutterbug in your family!



As with all of my items for sale, I am here after the sale to advise you at any time and for any reason. How's that for service?!



Shipping with tracking to US addresses only is FREE. An insurance value of up to $50 is included in the shipping fee. Additional insurance is available for higher value items, but YOU MUST ASK FOR AND PAY FOR IT. If there is a loss in transit and you didn't buy additional insurance, your maximum refund payment will be $50. In any case, your refund payment will not exceed the item's actual sale price.



One more thing; you are required to immediately test your item for function. Not two weeks, one month later (or any time-period greater than immediately upon receipt). If you have a problem of any kind, be it merchandise, shipping or service related, please, PLEASE contact me right away and I will make things right. That is my PROMISE to you. When you buy from an on-line retailer, it is common courtesy to contact them, to let them (us) know there's a problem BEFORE you leave a less-than-5-Star Review. Anything less than a 5-Star Review harms my business. A premature action can cause thousands of dollars to be lost and the simple solution to this is an email. That's it. Virtually all small shop owners want you to have nothing but the best possible experience. We want you to come back and buy again. Please communicate so we both are happy. In the unlikely event that an item has not performed to expectations, please contact me right away (no longer than one week). If we are unable to correct the issue (through email, phone calls and other messaging), I will ask you to return the item using the same packaging materials in which the item was received, and ACE Camera Exchange will repair, or exchange said item with an identical or fundamentally similar item. Of course, we will have a conversation to determine which solution is suitable for you. ACECameraExchange reserves the right to correct clerical errors after the sale but before shipping, which could be related to (but not limited to) incorrect quantities, incorrect pricing, incorrect shipping & incorrect insurance fees. Shipping costs remain the responsibility of the buyer and are never refunded. If you insist on returning an accurately described item, a $20 or 20% administrative fee (whichever is greater) AND the original cost of shipping to you, will be deducted from your refund. Cancellations and cancellations due to 'accidental purchase' are never allowed. If you insist on canceling an order, a 10% or $10 fee (whichever is greater) will be deducted from your refund. I appreciate you taking time to read this, and I do hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Chris
