The LX is 1/2 Mechanical, they removed the mechanical slow speeds and replaced them with an electronic timer. They kept the
clockwork for the fast speeds, which is only used when the camera is in manual mode with a shutter setting from x sync to 2000.

LX in not machanical, shutter is electronic. I still have my ME, but that does not qualify either.
All the best!

I used my LX last week, and my Bronica SQ-A, with no built-in meter, is still with me.

On the other hand: Before buying the *istD I had never used an SLR with AF, so I think I'm almost in the opposite category :-)

That got me to wondering how
many people here have never used a fully manual camera - no autofocus, no
modes, no built-in meter. Anyone?
