A new special edition of the LX is highly unlikely as the production of the LX has ceased and because certain electronic components for the LX are no longer available. A worse case scenario, apart from the nothing whatsoever scenario, I guess is a "Limited" anniversary model of the MZ-S. However, if Pentax have anything up their sleeves, then now it's the time to release it. How about the culmination of 50 years of production of film based slr's? Lets hope that the wish for making an LX with AF is acceptable for the marketing people as well; not only the engineers. Pål - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
