I use my LX fairly regularly nd love it. I was using it recently and thought that that Pentax should come out with a D-LX DSLR body with the real-time metering and other cool features of the LX bundled into a state of the art DSLR. Maybe they will. You never know, and you may be lucky, but

LX is a wonderful camera. All your digitals will feel like fat pigs in comparison. The exposure metering is masterful, and the range of viewfinder accessories is outstanding. If you are lucky, somebody else fixed the sticky mirror. When you get the camera, don't just fire off some shutter snaps.
