I would love a digital back for the LX. And save me from all the featurerama of DSLRs. I prefer my tools to be simple and reliable. Self explanatory like a hammer or a knife. And durable in the sense: Pick up a hammer made in the stone-age and use it to drive a nail into a board today. This is why I love my `54 Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 2.8/50 T with twelve blades preset aperture and my `64 Super-Takumar 1.4/50 so much.
I do realize that the digital era demands compromises to this philosophy, but find that the DSLRs are leaving the basic principle of single-lens reflex cameras and are changing into something (the K5 > non-dslr K-01) that is not as attractive to the photographer and the idea of being able to see your image through an optical view finder before the photo is taken. There are two SLRs that I have worked with and prefer to others and they are the Pentax LX and the Nikon FE2. Why even clutter things with auto-focus? Lets have a more simple DSLR without that. Hand to eye coordination is a wonderful human ability.
