That's a first for me - seeing "reasonable amount of money" and "LX" in the same sentence...

Same here - just yesterday I got myself lost (intentionally) on some mountain logging roads - just me and my ME Super w/Tri-X and ZX-M w/Sensia. Found a beautiful waterfall and some wonderful vistas, not to mention an endless source of macro shots. Using digital in such an environment just seems wrong.
Originally posted by Mike Cash I'm sick and tired of chasing after the latest technological innovation when I already don't make use of the bulk of the features on the K20D that I already have.
Same here. Heck, I don't even use all the features on some of my film bodies!
Originally posted by gofour3 I agree, you’re not going to see any K20Ds in use 30 to 40 years from now, like you do with Spotmatics or any “K” series film cameras.
Ain't that the truth! Likewise, the current crop of lenses will be obsolete before long - that's why I can't bring myself to sell any Takumars, Ks, Ms, or FAs. They'll still be usable long after I'm gone - not so with DAs.
