Originally posted by Swift1 The Pentax MX is essentially a Pentax version of the OM-1.
Small, all manual, huge viewfinder.
A large viewfinder is a must for me!
Originally posted by TwoUptons I’d do aa MX. Huge viewfinder and tiny body.
Sometimes I can’t see all of the viewfinder at once, it’s so big...
A LX is also fantastic.
But that assumes your lenses have aperture rings.
If not, you’ll probably want an autofocus body to keep full control of aperture. Like a PZ-1, PZ-20, or something from the ZX series...

Z-20 was mid-90s, but it’s a good camera.

Man it's so hard to find specs for a lot of the old Pentax cameras
So I came across the MX, ME, and ME Super. All of which have a huge .97x viewfinder!! Even bigger than my OM-1's .92x!!
(.95 for the MEsuper)
Anyone know if the LX is also in that range?
Pretty much all the newer autofocus bodies listed are out cause they usually don't have a big viewfinder, and most of my Legacy glass is manual focus anyway
Does the ME not support manual controls??? One site made it sound like the camera decides shutter values for the ME
MX is definitely looking good
