Dang fingers! I meant "...an LX now!" Every once in a while I hit an unintended key, and I don't always do spell-checking. For a two sentence statement? Hah! > > > >keith whaley A few months ago, I bought an LX that had always been used on a copy stand, taking photos of stamps, for the owner's stamp collection! As you can imagine, there is no brassing, no dents or scratches or dings! Only "problem" is, it has a "Dial Data LX" back. I'll never use that, so am looking for a standard back. I should contact the factory, I guess, just haven't got around to it. Would you want the Data back? I'll make you a good price on it. It's virtually like new! The LX came with the standard SC-21 focusing screen. I've never seen "ground glass" so fine! Anyhow, I plan to keep the screen. I quite like it as is. . . One thing about it. . .It's the heaviest 35mm SLR I've ever owned! Keep in mind, I started with Retina rangefinders, many, many years ago, stgarted shooting with a fine Contax rangefinder, then a number of other Olympus 35mm rangefinders, eventually settled on Olympus OM-series (OM-1, OM-2, etc.) cameras and lenses. All relatively small and light weight. When Olympus decided to abandon the OM series, I sold my Olympus kit entirely, bodies and lenses, and graduated to the Pentax platform - started with an MG, later an MX, and a number of (9 at last count) manual bodies and lenses after that. Then, I found this beautiful LX! Much happiness prevails! <g> keith whaley AOHC member #501. . .
