I think the LX was without a doubt Pentax's finest camera.

I agree. All the simplicity of the K1000, only better.

When the LX was new, a photo mag ran an article on a professional who used two LX bodies to photograph rodeo - on horse back, in the ring! He had a zoom on each, and claimed that no other camera would handle the dust as well as the LX. I still drool over them - superb cameras.
