Hi fellow Pentax enthusiasts!

I’ve been reading posts and reviews from this forum for quite a while now, and finally decided to subscribe in a better way.

It all started when I recovered my father’s old Pentax equipment… but I have an MX, LX, and several manual lenses that I love to use— especially hiking and spending time with my family. Also lucky to have a wonderful local shop for processing/print making nearby, and several professional colleagues offering encouragement!

Looking forward to conversing more in the near future!
Tim

MX vs LX… great question, and a tough one!

For me, pros of the LX include the smoothness of the controls, faster shutter speed, and it’s a ton easier to read the light meter when it’s bright outside.

On the MX, it just feels great in an old-school way. I got a leather half-case for it about a year ago and now it’s actually the most comfortable to hold. I also find the light meter more accurate overall to my shooting style.

I loaned my LX for about a week to a student who is interested in film. He loved it and I didn’t even notice it was missing! But if I could only keep one, I’m honestly not sure which I’d choose.
