Ralf,
Ahhh, the LX. Enjoy it. In your hands it inspires, it begs to be
used... it soon becomes second nature to use it. I took four of them on
my recent trip to London. I did remember to shoot the *ist D though -
ask Cotty!
The LX is made to be dragged through steel mills and industrial ruins.
It can take the hard road as well as the paved one. I have used them
whenever I was working on Mayan ruins. I did draw the line when I was
doing underwater archaeology though.
I have always looked upon cameras as tools not jewels. They are to be
used to facilitate capturing your mind's vision.
And I have yet to come across a camera that takes its role as well.
After a while it will begin to achieve its own character. Every scratch
and dent will tell a story. The sheen it will acquire will beckon people
to admire it - even those who are not photographers.
I am glad to see that you said 'almost too beautiful', go out and enjoy
the LX.

Just received a parcel with an LX and a PKA 2.8/24 mm. Both in pristine

Never had an LX before. Quite impressive, really...

P.S.: referring to an earlier thread, I have eventually ordered a
*istDS. Should be arriving any day, now.
