About the product.
Purchased this from another vendor in India, the camera was in worse condition when I received it and I managed to clean it up and check a few things thanks to ifixit guides on pentax mx. The Lightmeter wasnt working when I received the camera, managed to fix that by finding out that the previous person who had seated the Shutter speed dial after taking it apart had done it incorrectly. The Light meter is fairly accurate, this was checked by using my other pentax Mx body and also a external lightmeter. I Have shot a few test images already and they are included in the listing images, the light leakes/film burn might be from the camera itself or from accidentaly exposing the film before winding it.
