Hmmm... To some extend this is right for me too. But I guess I just got used to all the nice features - sofisticated Matrix metering (I rarely have to make corrections anymore with the MZ-S - *istD. I did with the PZ-1) - automatic focus point selection - auto bracketing - built in winder TTL flash - fast exposure correction - automatic sesitivity adjustment - auto focus - bar graph in the viewfinder - great LCD overview - HYP modes - the shutter and aperture wheels etc. etc.
No, I don't want to go back. It's quite possibel to make nice photographs with the Super A or ME Super or the K1000. But modern cameras work faster in difficult situations. Some photographs I would never have gotten with a 30 years old camera.

As long as it allows me to take pictures, it's fine by me! It matters to me the most is whether I take good pictures or even great photos! I took some photos I consider excellent with LX. I did that with ME Super and MZ-50 too! I'm sure if I was given a "Pro" camera such as Canon 1Ds MK2, given the right circumstances, I can get great pics too! It's just a tool... what matters is your imagination...

Meaning then that according to your standards, the LX isn't a "pro" camera either? I mean, just to be clear, this got underway because of the claim that the LX was the last 35mm pro camera Pentax made, and my opinion that the PZ-1 and PZ- 1p also qualify. If it's your opinion that the company has to stand behind it and therefore there's no such thing as a Pentax 35mm pro camera, okay, I understand your reasoning. ERN
