I see the MZ-S is very quiet! Probably the best of the lot. I only say

The MX is definitely quieter than the LX, by my ear, and that Nikon! Loud!

You got that straight, Cotty!
I must admit, I've not heard either the winder or motor LX, but whenever I
want to sound like a Pap, I snap off a few with the Winder MX. vbg
Truth be told, I keep the winder on my MX most of the time - makes a great
grip. But I almost never turn it on. Maybe

Just make sure you get a competent repair job, or you'll do it again.
The repair should run US$150+ and include new foam and seals.
If it's a $40 fix, the guy doesn't know what he is doing.

I too choose my LX over my MX consistently. Because it's so small, i've
taken the MX on trips now and then without the winder. But the rest of
the time, the LX gets the call. I keep a 35mm kit of ten lenses and two
bodies in a Pelican case. It goes with me on every job. Until last

However, I really don't notice much difference between my MX and LX in
volume level when used without winders.

Yeah, but Paul,
When you're travelling light, you'll put on the pancake, and throw the MX in
your shirt pocket.
How big is the *istD with the pancake? Will it still fit in a pocket?

$400.00 is a damned good price for the system as you describe it. However
I own two LX's one that was CLA'd by a 3rd party which is the one currently
needing repair. (Which reminds me I should send it off to Pentax USA,
real soon
now). I would almost take the camera as is and send it to Pentax
I've had an 18 year old Mistress, from your descriptions I'd need
two before the costs would have become equivalent! (Of course mine
may have been the exception).

Gee, you must not use the winder on your MX very often, while
the shutter/mirror on the LX may be more noticeable than that of
the MX, the rasp of the winder MX sounds like a chain saw compared
to the sound of the Motor LX.

It's a fact, Fred. The *istD is the prettiest DSLR out there.
Just like the PZ-1 is one of the ugliest SLR's ever.
Just to prove that my Pentax allegiance isn't clouding my judgement.

Rarely use winders at all ... never said anything about the
MX winder being louder/softer than the LX winder. And it
may not be a fair comparison to compare a winder to a motor
drive. Love the way you mix up all these various elements,

Much choppier than the winder (as you would expect; it can
run through 5 frames in a second, while the winder can only
manage 2). Perhaps a little louder, but not so much so
