That I do appreciate as I still use my LX bodies but both are fitted with SE-60 screens which are full matte and still allow precision focus across the entire surface of the screen, I also have the full complement of interchangeable finders.

Actually the LX metering was quite advanced and still is mode capable at low light metering than virtually all current camera systems, you picked a bad example :) > PS: even as electronics get better and better every (6) months, folks > will still be whining about their gear (20) years later. I don't think so, as systems advance some things become resolved and are thereafter good enough, take time to initialize and shutter lag for instance, these now are rarely commented upon but used to be issues of consideration. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
