I'm of two minds about articles like this. Yes, it's nice that the author reinforces my belief that my favorite film camera is best in class, especially as it's the top class. However it means that if and when I decide to replace the LX I dropped not long ago, or if it's repairable, (the prism is probably a total loss), or the prism after the body is repaired, I'll have to pay a higher price than I would otherwise for an under appreciated gem.

I'm in the process of moving from a storage lock-up that I've had since around the time I did the big home reno in 2003. Going through boxes of various stuff I found 3 (yes 3) LX bodies, all serviced in 2002 qnd then put away, the full selection of viewfinders, A Winder LX, what seems like an endless variety of filters, just an amazing treasure trove of what has become very pretty, but useless junk (kind of like my first girlfriend, who was also useless but very pretty). Beg to differ. It pretty much does what it always did, given allowance for the vagaries of time, plus it has bonus qualities. As an example of how it improves over your first girlfriend, I'll ask how much you want for the AF-1W and I'll check to see which screens I am missing from my set. I bet you didn't get any financial return from your other candidate in the useless stakes. She was willing to have sex with me. That was, in it's own way, a financial return. The FA-1W might be the one that I don't have. I'll check and get back to you after breakfast. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
