Two LXen. Didn't use them much, never got to like them, and lost big on the resale. They just didn't suit me at all, from the off-balance strap configuration to the flash problems to the loud shutter to the many, many repair needs. All the hoopla about the OTF metering sounded good, but in real life I wasn't used to setting the camera on auto, and when I did it incorrectly exposed just as often as any other center-weight meter, although it has some theoretical advantage if the light is very low or changed at the instant of exposure. For a good manual Pentax camera, give me a PZ1p any day. -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com
