I use my LX fairly regularly nd love it. I was using it recently and thought that that Pentax should come out with a D-LX DSLR body with the real-time metering and other cool features of the LX bundled into a state of the art DSLR. Maybe they will. You never know, and you may be lucky, but yo

After reading this thread, I took my LX out of the display case where it lives and fired the shutter a few times to make sure the mirror wasn't sticking after quite a few years of storage with only an occasional shutter activation. It was fine at high speeds. Then I tried some slow speeds. Nothi

Replacing the bumpers is difficult enough that a lot of very good camera techs won't attempt it. Probably not a good DIY project. But that being said, the LX is a marvelous camera. I still have mine. Time to take it out for a spin again. Paul On Mar 7, 2013, at 7:18 PM, Rob Studdert wrote: > O

If I was going to buy another mf body, I would get an mx personally. I like the lx, but it has its share of faults. I would consider an mz-s if the mount wasn't crippled For now my cheap zx-7 works wonderfully and has an uncrippled mount. It came with an fa 28-80 that I've grown

LX is a wonderful camera. All your digitals will feel like fat pigs in comparison. The exposure metering is masterful, and the range of viewfinder accessories is outstanding. If you are lucky, somebody else fixed the sticky mirror. When you get the camera, don't just fire off some shutter snaps. T
