As the lively chats between Doug Brewer and "Pentax Clover" continues, I'd
like to say this:
I began photography 21 years ago in 1980 with a Spotmatic II, then over the
years went through a K1000, Super Program, 2 MX's and finally an LX in 1996.
But in 1998 I finally jumped into the AF foray, not with the Z-1p but a
Nikon F90X. For my money the F90X was a much better buy than the Z-1p. I
later added an FE2 as MF backup.
As much as I enjoy my expanding Nikon system (no flames please), my pride
and joy will *ALWAYS* be my LX with its FB1/FC1 finders, LX winder and grips
A and B. I now use my LX system with SMCA 24/f2.8, 35-105/f3.5 and 50/f1.8
and AF280T flash (after selling all my other Pentax gear). To lose my LX is
akin to losing a limb.
Whenever anyone asks me what brand of camera equipment I use, I proudly tell
them I own and use both Pentax and Nikon, noting that it's not the brand(s)
that matters most, but rather the pursuit of the art of photography and how
you wish to capture images that reflect how you see the world.
My $0.25.
