It's fully manual, small, light, simple, robust, reliable, has excellent handling and is cheap to buy and own. I can't think of any other reasons right now <grin> ... but the MX is one of a family of simple, fully manual cameras that don't take any control away from the photographer. I use my MX alongside a Leica M6 TTL and have previously used a Nikon FM2. These are similar cameras in that they have good built in light meters but are otherwise totally mechanical. People are attracted to the Leica R6 and R6.2 for the same reason, plus the Nikon F, F2, Canon F-1 ... Manual is good. John
