Decided to pension off the ME super and go digital. The ME replaced a broken Chinon (CE4 if I remember correctly)way back in the '70's. Because I have lenses, the Chinon f1.7,50mm, Chinon f3.9,75-150mm, a Tamron f1.4 28mm(with an adaptall 11) I decided on a Pentax K-x. It came with the DA L 18-55mm and I have since bought a DA 50-200mm off ebay. VERY pleased with the K-x, have experimented with my older lenses, but haven't had the time in good light to get the exposure correct. The difference in build quality between the DA and DA L is suprising. If I had realised I would have bought body only. Too bad I discovered this site after purchasing. But life is full of what ifs!!
