I have a Pentax MX with missing rewind axle and lever. Can I use parts from a ME-super?
It is also missing the focusing screen. Where can I find a working focusing screen without paying an arm and a leg?

Although the rewind knob on the MX has a slightly different shape, it can be interchanged with the ME Super knob. The ME Super rewind lever and pin can also be swapped out with the MX parts.

As you may know, the MX and LX share the same focus screens.
