I have noticed the following on the PUG Home Page:
In July of 2001, Pentax will be discontinuing the LX camera body.
To commemorate the 20 year history of the ultimate 35mm Pentax camera,
a PUG style gallery will be presented in August, 2001.
We invite submissions from Pentax LX users for this gallery.
I think this is a very appropriate and fitting thing to do to honour the end
of the production run of such a wonderful camera which I have always lusted
after
but which I considered was beyond my limited means.
Might I suggest that consideration be given to a similar gallery in just
over
three years from now, July 2004 to be precise, to celebrate 40 years since
the introduction of the Asahi Pentax Spotmatic. I know it is still a fair
way off
but it is never too early to plant the seed of such an idea.
The only SLRs I have ever owned are Spotmatics and I am enthusiastically
dedicated
to the breed and have no desire to change from them.
