Well, I know the MX preceded the LX (were they ever marketed concurrently? I don't think so, and I'm too lazy to look), but the MX would have made a great all-mechanical back up to the LX for a PJ or someone in the field.
Much as it was claimed that many who used whatever big Nikon F was current, would stick an FM or FM2 body in their bag as a back up. cheers, frank T Rittenhouse wrote: > Not for news bureau use maybe, but for studio/location work it was fine > (this not a guess, but actual experience). > > Ciao, > Graywolf > http://pages.prodigy.net/graywolfphoto > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Alan Chan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 2:04 PM > Subject: Re: *ist-D = digital MX > > > >The MX wasn't a pro body > > > > Actually the MX was marketed as a professional system back in the 70's > > although I think the MX was not built tough enough to qualify. -- "I don't believe in God, but I do believe in pi" - Henri Cartier-Bresson
