Just to be practical, wouldn't it be nice to put the electro-mechanical shutter of the LX into the ZX-5n or MZ-S and provide a heavy-duty shutter with mechanical over-ride, but still provide the spot meter, winder, and all the other tools of the computer age? That would be a nice camera.
Just my 2-cent fantasy, Collin (snow-bound in Ohio, and it's still coming down. Think I'll go snow shooting this afternoon. There's nothing else to shoot -- it's all buried in white!) Brendemuehl
