Congratulations!!
I had a similar experience a few year back. I dug out one of my old
Spotmatics, armed it with a few lenses and went on a hike (bushwalk in OZ).
I had not used the camera for 15 years and, all of a sudden a switch was
thrown. I had used the camera when my favourite emulsions was Kodachrome 35
and Pantatomic X. With those films, you had to learn to meter! The results
were such that I sold my PZ1p and 28-105 lens. I have since added several
manual bodies to my collection and my favourite is the MX although I do like
my LX as well.
Of note, I am not afraid of mounting my old 55 f 1.8 on either camera.
For me, it still runs circles around the 50s f 1.4 and 1.7. That is MHO. I
feel the same way about the 35 f 3.5 although I found and purchased a K 35 f
3.5 and sold my 2.8.
