Cost is part of it. If it's too expensive it's not likely to be a favorite no matter how nice it is. I wonder how much an MX or K1000 would cost today.
Plenty of clarifications are due to my earlier: A working MX is 50 pounds, an LX is 120 with a finder. Now.
The LX was *very* expensive when new. It is a favourite. Because it sold, unlike the MZ-S that was hit by the digital turmoil and the fact the brand was/is unfashionable.
This is a thread about personal likes. The LX will never be in my wish-list, unlike the MZ-S. YMMV, but the survey, in my opinion, cannot determine if there is a fundamental flaw with the newer Pentax cameras. In terms of interface and features they differ so much from each other that a generalisation is not possible, I don't think.
