That's a difficult question, it's a toss up between the MX, LX and the
Spotmatic, (any model but I currently only have the F). The MX is just
about perfect for most things but I find myself drawn to the LX for so
many reasons, not the least of which is that if feels so right in my
hands, and then there's the simple uncluttered joy of using a Spotmatic,
just a needle for exposure indication, no distractions from the
subject. Still it boils down to the LX being a simple joy to use, every
thing's in the right place and with the accessory grip, perfection.

Hi Gang ...
Another Pentax list member and I were talking and comparing what gear we
now have. Over the years we've known one another a lot of cameras and
lenses have passed through our hands. While looking at my list I began
thinking which, of all my cameras, past and present, is my favorite.
Surprisingly, it became something off a toss-up between the KM and the MAX,
with the KM coming out just a little ahead of the MAX.
I like its heft, its utter simplicity (toss the battery and you end up with
an SLR version of a Leica M3), uncluttered viewfinder, DOFF preview, and
... gee, that's all it's got, which is another reason why it's so enjoyable
to use ;-))
So, what's your favorite Pentax - even if it's one that you don't use or
use very much.
