That's a tough call. I find the Canons a bit fiddly, the OM4Ti is nice but I'm annoyed with how hard the FP flash is to get figured out, and the F2, well I feel it's a great camera but an even better weapon or emergency hammer. :) I haven't used the RTS II enough to say for sure but it's another lovely camera. The LX is very very nice and I'd rank it alongside, maybe even higher than the F3. Definitely easier to focus with the LX and see the shutter speed.

I'm more camera collector than photographer. I've collected many of the upper-end, non-Leica manual focus SLR cameras from the 70's and 80's like Nikon's F2 and F3, Canon's F1 and F1 new, the Olympus OM4Ti, Contax RTS II, etc, but the jewel of Pentax manual focus cameras has up til now eluded me... no more!
A very simple and intuitive aperture-priority camera whose very simplicity belies the excellent craftsmanship beneath. The viewfinder has to be seen to be believed.
