Actually, I don't think I was misreading you at all. I use an LX as a primary camera and wanted an all mechanical (battery only needed for meter) second body. But DOF preview is important to me as is interchangeable focusing screens. If there is a K body that fits these requirements I'd like to know. I thought the MX was the only camera that fit the bill. I know the KX and KM have some features but do they accept motors/winders?
I hope the MX I bought is not a total dog....
