Yeah, I forgot about the slower speeds being unusable on the LX.
I think I may be failing to grasp a key concept here. You said the mechanical speeds
of the LX are only good in case of battery failure. Are you implying that the FM3A is
designed to be usable as a full time manual? If so, why would they build it as an EM?
Wouldn't the whole idea behind an EM shutter be the ability to keep shooting if the
batteries fail?
I'm not picking on you, I swear. You just bring up some interesting thoughts.
