Hi Godfrey, LX screens work fine in the MX. The MX is designed so the user can easily change them too. I've heard some say there are exposure errors with LX screens but I've never had a problem. eekBay has LX screens fairly often, they go for anywhere from 15-50 dollars though. Several styles are sans split-image.
BTW: After the MX the K1000 would be rather a dissapointment. Bigger, heavier, and basically "featureless".
