But thats not what its all about. The fact remains that the LX is out of production
because not enough people were buying them anymore. The camera was past its selling
date. And this is not due to some evil conspiration. The LX doesn't have what the
market now expects in a fine camera. After all, the LX was sold for nearly 21 years so
nobody has any right to complain; there has been plenty of time to aquire one and the
use market is full of them.
However, many of us (and apparently Pentax as well) think Pentax should take the LX
philosophy to the next step so that its more in tune with contemporary tastes. Note
that this is no threat to current LX owners who are happy with theirs; an updated LX
wont magically transform current LX'es into modern AF marvels.
How this should be done is of course debatable but enough characteristics of the LX
needs to be preserved so that any follow-up can be recognized as related to the LX.
