I read the review, I like your title better.  The review wasn't bad, 
but, it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know.

Any idiot can shoot with a Canon, Nikon, or Sony, it takes a special kind of 
idiot to use a Pentax.

Had to give it up for two reasons: I needed a viewfinder with diopter
adjustment once I got my first no-line glasses and also the shutter
curtains began to play tag, leading to uneven exposure across the frame
and a repair would have been too expensive.

I'm still dreaming of a digital MX. My *istDS came nearest to this ideal.

Indeed - I've had 2 plus an LX.

I still have the original setup that I bought brand new from Techno in the 
Marylebone Road in 1980 - MX body M28/2.8 and a winder. Sitting on the shelf 
above me now.
