I don't know if I find it to be a huge problem, but I have noticed that in very bright light, the led's are a bit hard to see. I actually prefer the match-needle of the Spotmatics in that regard. In lower light situations, however, the MX led's are a huge improvement over the match-needle.
I think what you've experienced is "normal" - whatever that is. regards, frank Denny B wrote: > I have just purchased a Pentax MX all seems well except for the > internal lightmeter.
