< The tax refund is arriving soon. I am guaranteed to get $500. Whatever gear you buy, I suggest that you use the $500 to acquire the most expensive body or lens you will be wanting. It's not easy to scrape up that kind of money, or to justify it to the wife when it comes out of your paycheck, so why spend it on two or three items that you can easily enough acquire one at a time?
Therefore, if there is an LX in your future--or a lens that costs mor than $400 (e.g., a 77/1.8, 85/1.4, 200/2.5, 300/4.5, or 400/5.6), get it. But don't wait more than three years to get a sturdy tripod and head, or cable release, as I did!
