Don't get me started on the LX.  Why else could you explain my having five
of them?

I only recently got hold a LX, I don't think I'll ever trade it away. I
actually want to get another one as backup! It's such a wonderful little
thing to use.
Even though I'm also thinking on getting an *istD, but that won't change a
thing. The *istD will mainly be for studio shoot.

I have far from forgotten my LXs. I was awaiting this mystical
transformation that comes with digital camera ownership that makes you
forget film, but that hasn't happened. Whilst I enjoy using the *ist D, it
is nowhere near as good as the 'feel' of an LX. Maybe I love my slide film
too much? A great pity an LX-D was never launched! For that, I would have
sold my film cameras...
