Well, as one of the major proponents of the MX on this list, I have to agree. Of course, I don't actually have an MX <grin>, but that is finally changing, as I paid more than anyone else was willing to for one Ebay yesterday. So, in a couple of weeks I will once again have an MX. I do hope it is not worn out. This one is replacing the ME Super I had to sell last summer. Now I need to find another that is not going for megabucks on Ebay, so I will once again have a pair.
Considering this cheerleading thread, it is funny to me because Pentax has only made 4 cameras that really interested me. KX, MX, LX, and now the MZ-S. I note that 3 out of the 4 end in X, so I must be a Pentax X fan <grin>. Of the 4, the MX is #! with me. In the late 60's I came up with what I would call my ideal camera. The MX when it came out was virtually that dream camera, there are only a couple of things I would change if I could have them built to my specifications.
