Thanks John,
I currently have MZ/ZX50 and saving up for MZ-S and hopefully getting a
*istD much later. I just like the feel of the old mechanical camera and I
think it'll be very nice to start my little collection here.

Andy

It's a nice camera.  My ME Super was stolen, otherwise I would still own it.
Personally I'd recommend a Super Program if you can find one - it's nice to
have shutter priority (assuming you have A lenses).  But the ME Super is an
excellent aperture priority or manual camera.  It even does one thing better
than the Super Program - it works (at 1/100 shutter speed) without
batteries.

I've never owned an LX, although I have handled them on occasions.  But
apart
from the LX the Pentax models I'd reccomend from personal experience would
be:

 MX             All-manual, all the time.
 ME Super       Aperture priority (like the ME), but with manual
capabilities.
 Super Program  Adds shutter priority (and full program)
 PZ-1p          Top-of-the-line for flash sync speed in the auto-focus range
 MZ-S           Better AF & flash system, but slower shutter & basic flash
sync, 

Plus, of course, the *ist-D
