There seems to be an almost lovely clunky functionality to the SFX series now -- they seem so wedded to their time, a late-1980s, funky LCD-and-switches style.
I initially thought the PZ-1/PZ-1p series were ugly bulbous plastic blobs but I later came to love their form factor, ergonomics and size -- and this is from someone who has a huge appreciation for the older Pentaxes as well, from the SV through the K series, LX and Super A. I just consider the more modern bodies a different animal.
