For me, it's still the LX. Purely for its adaptability. Plus, some of the

One conclusion is that the multi-exposure function in *istD does not
recalculate exposure based on the number of
part-exposures involved. Cameras like the Z-1/Z-1p subtracted a certain
EV value to each exposure based on
the total number. The *istD, however, does not.

Ah, the K1000. This was my first SLR, and even though I responded to
