I, too, was "enabled" by the list and got an MX recently.  Quite simply,
it is the most "pentaxish" of all the Pentax 35 mm SLR's.  It's small,
mechanical, well made, and sits well in your hands.  (Assuming you don't
have large hands.  If so, get a 6x7 but don't handhold it ;-0   See
Above)  It also has all of the important basic controls.   The funny
part is that it's "light" by metal camera standards.  The modern plastic
versions, the latest of which is the *ist, are much lighter.
