I think the LX is a bloated pig of a camera compared to the MX <g>, and the
only reason I use mine is when there's a need or desire to use one of the
accessory finders or if the more evolved metering system is desirable.
It's loud, it's heavy, it doesn't fit as readily into the Domke satchel,
and reduces what I can carry in the way of equipment. It's a very nice
camera in many ways, but AFAIC the MX is a more elegant piece of equipment
designed for and excelling at straight ahead photography. The MX is the
Pentax version of the Leica ...
When was the last time you picked up a Leica R body.
The LX will seem much less bloated after that experience.
I don't get the facination with the MX. I've owned two, and sold both.
