Can anyone tell me what cameras will accept the same lenses as a Pentax MG? My MG is broken but my Panagor 35-100 zoom lens is still in great shape. |

Basically any Pentax, Ricoh, Cosina, Chinon, Petri, made from 1975.
Just look for the so-called Pentax-K bajonet mount.
BTW. What is wrong with your MG?

Here is what I know.
1. Something loose in view finder.
2. Rewind handle missing. Cannot open case.
Otherwise I think it is functioning ok. Been many years since I used it. |

The loose viewfinder is a known problem. If you loook carefully you might discover that the plastic frame is broken. I have fixed mine with som glue:

Regarding the rewind knob, beware the MG one is different from the ME/ME Super.
To open the back, look at this picture, a picture is worth a thousand words!

Found this really good article on Wikipedia about K mount body cameras.
