Owned an MX, poor viewfinder(WAY too much magnification, no eye relief), too small to handle nicely, low flash sync. ME - Alright ME Super - Horrid UI. KX, big, heavy. Super Program - see ME Super LX - Real nice camera, needs grip+winder to be comfortable to shoot.
The LX is the only one of the lot I'd ever consider owning. Prefer my K10D to any Pentax 35mm film body I've ever tried. Pentax and ergonomics were not in the same universe for most of their bodies (I've never tried an M-S though, and the LX ain't bad with a grip added). -Adam On 12/7/07, Bob Sullivan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You are absolutely right Cory. > The old gear has a touch and feel that doesn't go away. > The ME is so small, clean,and quick in the hands. > The ME Super is more quiet and solid feeling when the shutter fires. > The KX is big and durable and kind of ols school. > I feel like a pro with the little MX. > And the LX just feels premium, bigger and more substantial but so > nimble and flexible. > Finally the Super Program, the poor man's LX with TTL flash and a 3.5 > fps winder. > Great cameras that the K10D will never compare to. > Regards, Bob S. > > On Dec 7, 2007 3:08 PM, cbwaters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Godfrey, > > you view is certainly logical, if a bit dispassionate.
