Hi, I understand that the difference in brightness between the LX and the MX screens is very small (1/3 stop?) Based on the way most people make exposures and the use of color neg film, that small difference should pose no problem. Still, it's good to know just what the actual differences are for the times one is doing critical work, or just for fussy folks like myself (although I rarely use the meter in the MX - one doesn't even have batteries in it)
