Hi Len ... Yes, but it was a long time ago, just a few years after the first model came out. I didn't like it, but in all honesty, I can't recall why. Maybe it was because I couldn't afford it. However, I have been giving some thought to getting an R 6.2, the recently discontinued manual/mecha

The LX is only about 1/4 inch taller and 1/4 inch wider and has the same depth from the front of the lens flange to the camera back of course. However partly due to the difference in shape of the MX's prism housing it seems to be much smaller than the difference in dimensions would indicate.
