Are you asking about a true match needle center weighted metering system? I think the LX has some variation of that - not exactly the same, but it does have a needle. It is a little bigger, but not lots. Otherwise, I think you are looking at the K series - they are bigger though. -- Best

I've owned most of those at some point. The one I haven't owned is the M28/2 (didn't know there was one). I had the K28/2, which is a superb lens and everybody should have one. There is nothing to fault about this lens. The M50/1.4 is a very good lens, sharp, easy to focus, perhaps a slightly

I was hoping there was something like an MX but with a K1000 meter in it (at least the needle part). Oh well. I think I'll probably just end up going with the MX as I really think I'll like the size. Speaking of which, does anyone have any photos with a K1000 and MX side-by-side? Thanks. On

Hey, Nick. The MX has 5 LEDs on the right side of the viewfinder. I, too, prefer a needle, but the LEDs work very well for low light and when you might have a dark filter on the lens. The LEDs suck butt in bright sun. In addition to the MX I also have a K1000. It's a bit bigger than the MX,
