The myth the Pentax LX didn't sell is just that; a myth. Its true that the F3 outsold 
it but then the F3 is probably the most sold expensive slr of all times. When the LX 
was new there were waiting lists. It was a very popular camera the first few years of 
its existence. The LX is not at all rare; its common on the used market and most is 
from the first few years of production. If you want a rare expensive slr try find the 
Minolta XM.
