I was wondering whether the Black LX Titanium introduced in 1996 (300 units), commemorating 15 years of LX production, was shipped with a straight FA-1 finder or an FA-1W finder? It is clear that the natural color Titanium LX introduced in 1994 for the 75th anniversary of Pentax (1000 units) was shipped with an FA-1W. Thank you.

Sorry, can't answer the LX question, but I wanted to welcome you to the forum. Perhaps some of our gear experts can opine on your question.

Welcome aboard, sorry can't help... all my LXs were more of the earlier Eighties era.

Hi. I've had plenty of 80s era LX's myself but am in the process of acquiring a 1996 Pentax LX limited Titanium body from a seller in Kyoto.
