Yes, old gear is nice to use, but then, so is new gear. For me, the simplicity of old cameras allows an easier, less distracting way to shoot. In some ways using older cameras can be more like using a P&S camera than some P&S cameras are <LOL>
That struck a chord with me. I _like_ the simplicity of the K1000 and MX (well particularly the K1000 out of those two) compared to the ME-Super (or my digital P&S). I find the exposure compensation, manual push buttons and the rotary switch around the shutter a little too fussy. Mind you I've been using the K1000 so long now most anything will seem a bit cluttered with buttons I guess ;-)
