Francis, I'm one of the members of the unofficial KX Fan Club. Have you checked the PDML archives at http://www.mail-archive.com/pentax-discuss%40pdml.net/ ? There were quite a few positive postings about the KX several months ago--around February, as I recall. The KX and K2 are been said to be the only K-series body built to SpotMatic standards. If it could take the LX/MX screens, it would be my perfect manual-exposure body. The shutter release is so light that I sometimes take a shot when I didn't intend to. But I'm willing to pay that price to get such a light touch. The Ricoh XR-1 is quite similar in size, feel, specs, and operation, but adds a split-prism diagonal rengefinder. The XR-2 and 2s add an aperture-preferred autoexposure mode. However, on the Ricohs, the only way to get MLU is to use the mechanical timer. A light touch causes me to waste a number of shots on my Ricoh XR-2s, too, by the way.
