Originally posted by Ediz7531 I have to admit that I'm now in a bit of irrational fear about the LX developing any of its known issues. I sent it to Eric, and he concluded it was in good working order however. Of course, the plus side of that is that this seems like a solid argument, in my biased opinion, for me to justify getting a fully mechanical body in addition to the LX and the ME (whether my better half buys that argument or not, we shall see).
The MX looks tempting, but I can't shake off the feeling that, manual vs aperture priority aside, the MX looks to be basically a twin of the ME. So that's taken me to consider the KX. From the MX vs KX perspective, which is the smoother to operate (i.e. film advance feel), and which might be better for eyeglasses wearer (i.e eye relief)?
KX, KM, K1000, MX, take your pick. They are all quite reliable.
The MX gets my pick above the KX, though, simply because the aperture window is so much nicer on the MX.
