The extra size and magnification of the MX (.97x at 95% instead of .95x at 92%) is enough to make the MX's too large to use comfortably. I find the ME smallish as well, but since I'm not trying to use the shutter dial it's a lot less annoying. But other than the LX, I never clicked with any of my

The MZ-S is the only Pentax 35mm film body I've not owned that I'd be actually tempted to get. Too bad the prices are still ridiculous (Good body, but it's priced similar to far more capable bodies of similar vintage. An EOS 1v or F5 it is not). -Adam On 12/9/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL
