I went out for a hike down the coast today and took the K1000 with me. It's chunkier than the MX, wind on is not as smooth and the shutter noisier. MX is silkier to use but as Kenzie says, the K1000 is OK. Vanilla and functional really; neither a pleasure nor a pain to use. Centre the needle, focus and click (more of a clatter). I like the match needle metering and luckily mine has split screen focus. There were a couple of occasions I could have done with a dof preview though.
I'll see how the pics come out but it didn't beg to become a keeper. For an older generation mechanical SLR, the Minolta SRT303 is hard to beat.
