I love the handling and feel of my LX + grip B, definitely easy to carry one
handed, the motor and drive are OK but take away from the superb balance
however I would have preferred that the compensation dial had a centre
detent rather than an absolute lock since I have to pull it from my eye to add
comp :-(
Another LX owner I shoot with had the compensation lock disabled, the
problem was that the blue compensation flag never appeared (or was always
in view, can't remember now).
I do also like the ergonomics of my M Leicas (after learning how not to
obscure the finder windows) and Contax RTS II.
