Mark Cassio has an article on his site about TTL and film

His article is about TTL flash photography, but his findings are very

I've never owned an LX, :-( so I can't be certain just how
the OTF metering works.
If it indeed waits for stop down and reads the light
level from the film or shutter curtain then yes, it
should be a fair test with either lens.
Perhaps one of the other PDMLers will be more helpful

Hi Don,
I was just thinking (can you smell the wood burning?) that the LX actually
makes the exposure based on the actual stopped down position of the lens
aperture, right? So the need for doing this may be obviated by using an LX
for this project rather than an M or K body.

Ugh! That lizard skin. Camera World of Oregon had a gold plated LX on

What did the LX sell for when new anyway?
I paid about $1600.00 (Can) with a viewfinder for the one I bought
