Specs can be deceiving. You got to try it. I brought an LX
to the store and tried FM3A along side with it. FM3A feels
like crap (excuse me for the expression.)
I see these deficiencies:
1. No interchangeable finders
2. No OTF meetering
3. Only 3 focusing screens (none of which I like)
4. Feels flimsy and cheap (knock it on the table it might break)
5. Can't buy 2nd hand, therefore price is too high
But two things it does have over the LX:
1. Flash sync at 250.
2. Quieter shutter.
3. Feels lighter in weight (plastic inside?)
The LX is clearly more fun.
Regards,
