Re: FS: MX and KX
Ok, I'm in! IMO, of ME-S, MX and LX, ME-S has the best viewfinder. MX is the second, but only when a bright (LX) screen is installed. LX has less magnification, and, i think, with the same screen, a bit dimmer than MX.OTOH, LX has FE-1, which puts it in a completely different league... also, the new screens are definitely worth the $25 they go for on ebay (I particularily recommend the plain grid one, I have one in my LX) Mishka
Re: MX vs LX viewfinder (was FS: MX and KX)
I've done comparisons on a day by day basis for years. The MX can't touch the LX. Why would Pentax have taken a step backward? Doesn't make sense. The viewfinders of PZ/Z & MZ/XZ bodies are many steps backward and it makes sense, economically. regards, Alan Chan _ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

I prefer the LX viewfinder (FA-1) to the MX viewfinder. The MX one was MUCH improved by installing an LX "S-something-6-something" screen, but not so far as to catch up the LX in my preference.

I own two. I said about the best didn't I, it's so hard to prefer one of your babies over another.

Re: FS: MX and KX
I was going to mention the old Nikon F as having a very good viewfinder but reconsidered doing so because the Nikon F has interchangeable viewfinders, as does the LX, which should disqualify it from being compared to fixed viewfinder SLRs.

MX finders are the best. (There that should get some argument), but seriously the MX has about the best SLR viewfinder I've ever seen.
