Yeah, I know about early and late models and the differences, wanted to get newer one, hope it more common, but there is no way to know it from KEH's description :( Thanks! Dmitry
You might want to email KEH and ask about the sensitivity range. My LX is a leter model, but I had it modified so that the meter activated when the button that releases the ISO dial is pressed. I might be wrong but I think that might have been a feature of the latest LX's - not sure of that at all though. Someone else here might know. But that might be something else to check into.
An LX in good working condition will have fabulous low light performance. Open the shutter in a darkened room, leave, and it will expose the film for many minutes or even hours and then shut down when the correct exposure is achieved. Really cool, hard on batteries. That is the feature that keeps failing on my LX.Right now, I might get good one or two minute exposures, but when it gets long the camera just leaves the shutter open forever. I've had that fixed 3 times, it works for a while but it just doesn't stick. So if you get an LX with a return policy, test to be sure it does longer exposures - at least 15 minutes. The real time metering on mine still works - turn on the room lights and the shutter closes - it just does not work in fairly dim situations for really long exposures.
