I feel that you can do all the things with LX that you want to do with K1000 so I suggest you to keep the LX and use it though you are not using it to its full potential. But just keeping an LX and not using it, is not good at all and selling it is a disaster because it is an asset though I

Dave, Since you already own it, why keep changing. I assume it will work for the type of photography you do as well as the K1000 or is there something unique about it that the LX can't do. Since you have the LX, why not expand your horizons just a bit at a time? Take one feature and learn how

Dave, I'm coming from the same place Bruce is. Time to expand your photographic horizons and push your limits. Get a cheap AF200T flash and try some TTL flash photos. You will be amazed by how easy it is to get good shots. Get a tripod and try some of those long exposure, night shots. Get a
