Originally posted by Clavius Whilst I'm not allergic to retro, if done right it can be really cool. Just look at Fuji and Leica. Although even those could do with more functional/ergonomic designs. But the spotmatic design is just plain much to ugly to revive.
MX, ME, are the ones that I think would work best. Also, LX is too big, IMHO, chunkier, not as compact as MX, ME, ME Super, and was heavier too.
Spotmatic, and K1000, would be a horrible solution — see Spotmatic compared to MX:
Then K1000 compared to ME:
I vote for MX or ME (Super), albeit I like pentaprism shape of the ME (Super) much better.
Here's MX next to Leica M6:
