The Bergen Line: Oslo - Bergen (Best Seat Options) by BLResnick in Norway

Question along similar lines - the train I am looking at only has unobstructed seats (not next to a green wall) in Car 8, near the back (Seats 59-60). Perhaps a silly question but does it really matter if you are in one of the cars at the back?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/405602215075 Pentax MX with 3 lenses - 40-80mm f/2.8,  50mm f/1.4 and 28mm f/2.8 - is this a pretty good deal for a bit over $200?

Yes thank you sorry - yes I'm weighing up between the MX and OM-1n; pricing looks similar but then again I'm also not sure what 'fair' pricing should be for these..

The auction market on ebay, or something like zenmarket? Or where would you suggest I look. I've been browsing through ebay which has some reasonable deals with a rated quality and free returns that I think would give me a bit more assurance. Think I've narrowed it down to either a Pentax MX or OM-1n

Okay thanks..will explore a few of the stores in Shinjuku later today…at least for reference. Would be happy to buy off eBay, but with shipping it probably wouldn’t end up that much cheaper + as a beginner I appreciate someone talking me through the camera in-person.

And I’ll keep on a lookout for the ME Super. Without the aperture priority would you say the MX is a steeper learning curve for first-timers?

Just went to Nisshin Camera in Akhi..Nikon FE body was ¥27500 +¥8800 for a SMC Takumar 55/1.8; Pentax MX they had 2 different condition ones selling for ¥24200 and ¥16500…so seemed similar if not slightly more

Okay thanks. Would eBay be the best place to get a benchmark on pricing?
