Ah, so Pentax users are different? What makes them different? I can see that
they know what they want, and are very good at articulating it.
I will go look at a Pentax 35mm. I can tell you this for sure, while I am
enjoying my Pentax 67 system, and I tolerate
its bulk and mass on photographic outings, I also long for a secondary
system to just have for casual use. Smaller and
lighter sure sounds good to me, and if that applies to the MZ and LX I will
go look at them. Thanks

Pentax cameras are smaller. What sense does it make for a 35mm camera like
the
Nikon F5 to be as big, as heavy, and as expensive as a medium format
camera?
The best Pentax camera is the professional LX with its near perfect metering
system. If ever you use it you may easily become addicted. The solid and
compact
MZ-S seems to be very well-made, too, and it has a concept that none of the
competition offers. A lot of Pentax lenses are really good. Most Pentax
primes
and some zooms are sharp, offer the best coatings, and very beautiful bokeh.
K,
M, A*, F*, FA*, and Limited series lenses offer very good mechanics, too.
Compare a cheap (most Pentax lenses are cheaper, too) used SMC Pentax-M
1:1.4
50mm lens to the N. or M. equivalents, and you will know. Finally: Pentax is
different, and so are its users.
