Hmm, must be true. Anybody here from AOHC knows how many were made?
Especially with the matching DIAL DATA BACK D (same as on LX but with
different designation and different contacts - not intechangeable AFAIK).
Perhaps I should not abuse mine so much ;-). I will have to repaint the
brassing though ;-) (K2DMD was only in black, so it brasses a LOT at the
edges). I was told most of them were used as police cameras and such, that
true?

They have the largest mirror of all my cameras (expect 6x6 SLRs ;-)
Exceptionally good with a 500mm lens. Even the LX is told to vignette (in
finder) with the longer telephotos, while K2 does not.
Well, enough of praising my camera ;-) It's like praising the merits of
one's love ;-)
