If I was going to buy another mf body, I would get an mx personally. I like the lx, but it has its share of faults. I would consider an mz-s if the mount wasn't crippled....
For now my cheap zx-7 works wonderfully and has an uncrippled mount. It came with an fa 28-80 that I've grown to like and I paid a whole $15 for it in practically new condition....
