Wendy: Let me start by saying I am a tried and true Pentax LX man with, at last count, four of them. I doubt many people, even camera store sales people, would think that anyone who uses an LX is a pro. As soon as they see 35mm Pentax, no matter which one it is, they think amateur -- maybe advanced amateur -- but certainly amateur. I doubt there are very few, if any, working pros, still using LXs as their main cameras. Don't get me wrong, I love them and think they are as good as most pro cameras but I think their day has come and gone for pro shooters... I'm bracing for the wave of nasty e-mails after this one...

After I'd chose mine, the assistant went out back to get a new boxed one. He brought me a black one because he thought I'd like it to match my camera! (LX) Or maybe he thought as I was using a professional camera, I should have a professional-coloured monopod! >>
