I kept a ZX-L because it is the closest thing to the Pentax digital cameras in the way it operates, and is a solid performer.
I had a hard time deciding between it and the ZX-5N I had, but the higher max shutter speed of the ZX-L along with the control set being similar to the DS tipped the balance in favor of keeping the ZX-L.
Oh, I kept two MZ-S bodies as well, which are ergonomically perfect in my hands, but the operation and controls are quite different than anything Pentax ever made before or since. Regardless of that, I love the MZ-S bodies, and in fact, shot only film in one MZ-S over the holidays. It was quite refreshing to get the extra highlight DR of PRO negative film, along with the simplicity of dropping the film for development and printing without spending a single minute at the computer messing with PP. The wonderful skin tones of the film also reminded me why I liked film so much.
