The meter switch problem is an easy fix, if you know what you;re doing. A competent repairman can fix it in about 5 minutes. Even a thumb fingered amateur like me can fix it in about 20 minutes...

The design of the MX's on/off switch (aka the shutter lock) allows a
poorly adjusted copy to drain the battery despite being turned to the
off/locked position. It's one of the more common issues with the MX.

OK, thanks.  I wasn't aware of that problem.

The K bodies feel solid but rough in my experience. Smooth is
generally not part of the experience. I like them better than any of
the later manual focus bodies except the LX, but they aren't as
pleasant to work with as a Nikon or Olympus body.

Well, I've never used the Nikons so I have no basis for comparison, and
my relatively recently aquired LX remains unused (something I will
definitely redress in the new year).  Having held the KX, MX and LX,
though, I still like the 'feel' of the KX over the others.  Maybe I'm
just odd....

I'm not sure what you mean by the "on/off problems".
