>You must have missed the following sentence from my post: "I think of LX as an abbreviation, not as a word, even though it is really the Latin numeral for 60."
>Bob As good an explanation as any I can think for why they named it the LX -- 60. Pentax headquarters seems to have a fascination with combining add letters and numbers. Not using any numbering system or sequential order that I can figure out. OTOH, I wonder if one does a straight translation from Japanese to English of some numbers what they come out as? Or maybe they just take something like scrabble tiles (also tiles with numbers), shake 'em in a cup and pour them out. Marnie aka Doe ;-) Which is also as good explanation as any.
