May I ask what you paid for it?
I would like to say I got it at a bargin price from some guy at a rummage sale, but, well that would be a good story, but not true.
Truthfully, It was more then I should have spent, or wanted to spend. But I justified it because the camera has every feature I wanted in an SLR. I plan to keep it for a long time. Or until film is illegal!
The only other camera Pentax made that has the same feature list is the K2. I went for the LX over the K2 because of the light meter.
The funding for this expenditure has come from the liquidation of other Pentax gear. So without posting a dollar figure of what I spent...
So far sold:
K100D (body only)
SMC 50 1.4
I expect to need to sell a couple of K1000's and a lens or two to bring me back to even.
