Om1 has great addictive dampened feel to it's shutter & a great large, contrasty screen with simple match needle metering system. What I don't like are the lenses. The shutter speeds at the lens base is odd, but can be gotten used to, & even appreciated. The cheesy feeling f-stop ring at the other end of the lens, however, is another matter..... I don't like it at all, position or feel. I don't like the LED metering system in the MX. Besides this though, the Pentax MX's greatest advantage (besides being a nice camera in it's own right) is that they allow for the use of early P/K Pentax lenses, which were, in my opinion, the best feeling lenses out there. The K lenses aren't nearly as nice as the M42 Takumars (what lenses are?), but still nicer than any other camera of it's era.
