I've got two that I picked up as my re-investment in a minimal K-mount system after getting rid of a bunch of old ME supers, MXen, and Super Programs. They've got almost everything I want in a kick-around camera except a split-image focusing aid. The only problem is that both of the meters appear to be off by a stop or two, and my tech tells me that the inaccuracy may not be linear, which is to say that they can't be repaired to read correctly at all EVs. Another potential problem is that they are essentially irreparable due to lack of parts. I agree that they have that glorious old-fashioned solid feel that I love the Spotmatics for. Ironically, if the meters turn out to be unusably off the only things the KXen have over my batteryless Spotmatic IIs are the K-mount and the aperture-view window. DJE
