However it is a $5 do-it-yourself fix. Basically a 1.5mm wide by 3mm thick piece of foam the width of the mirror. Pentax USA still had the mirror bumper in stock a year ago. Your local Pentax distributor may still have them too. But you can cut a piece of foam to fit. The foam sold by places like

is softer then the Pentax stuff, mouse pad foam is harder. Contact cement works fine.

So, I've been playing around with my "new" MX.
Cleaned it and inspected every aspect of it.. And I found that the foam that softens the mirror blow has really gone old. It falls off when I touch it (Why did I have to go and touch it?!).
Is this bad? Should I start to figure something out to replace that foam? It sure does give a pretty loud CLACK when the mirror flies up.
