This camera is really a perfect 135 SLR.
All the controls are easily accessible. The shutter speed dial can be readily turned with just the index finger, unlike the dial on the MX.The viewfinder is bright and large, with plenty of eye relief for those who wear glasses; the entire field of view is easily visible. The aperture-setting window is a great touch, and makes all your key settings visible through the view finder.
The meter is accurate, even at low light levels. The match-needle system is extremely easy to use, and allows the user to easily set exposure compensation. Furthermore, the batteries are standard watch-batteries, which makes the KX relatively future proof (compared to Olympus OM-1 or Nikon Photomics, which require battery modifications to use in contemporary times).
Try one out if you get a chance; it's wonderful. |
