Note: This article describes the 1970s KX film SLR; the 2009 digital Pentax K-x is covered in its own entry.
This was the advanced-amateur model of the K series of Pentax bodies. The viewfinder is very informative, with a window to see the aperture, and a needle type lightmeter plus an indication of the selected shutter speed.
