<< Why I like the LX:
I like the way it fits in my hand, and the feel of the film
wind. I like it because I can carry it - with any one of a
number of lenses - easily in the large pockets of many jackets
and the vest that I own. I like the size, as it's not too small
nor too big, and it handles well for me. I like the removable
finders and the finder system. I like the simple, intuitive
layout of the controls. I like the metering and exposure
system. I like it because it's metal, and because it's black. I
like it because I can carry it vertically. I like it because it
says Pentax on it, and not Nikon or Canon, and therefore many
people think I'm just a rank amateur, and don't pay a lot of
attention to me when I shoot. I like it because it says Pentax
on it, and those who know what the camera is often share a nod
or understanding smile. I like it not because it's expensive
(it's no more expensive than the high end Nikons or Canons), or
because it's an "icon", but because it suits me better than any
camera I've thus far tried. I like it because there are many,
many wonderful lenses that can be used with it. I like it better
than my Leica, better than the Bronica I've owned, better than
the Rollie TLR that I've used, better than the Nikons I've used,
and better than the Minolta I've played with. For me, the LX is
a great tool, a great toy, and a great pleasure.

You ought to have the above formally copyrighted, printed, laminated and put
on sale for $4.95. I'd buy one.
