Minox had an LX Camera in 1978.
Panasonic currently have the LX5.
but still an all digital LX with interchangable prism/evf/waistlevel lcd would be cool. no?

I should imagine the Pentax Ricoh machinery is already in action, but what and when is currently anybody's guess.

Wow can you imagine a possibly FF mirrorless with a k-mount evil class cam.... with that retro styling?
I hope Pentax / Ricoh gets thier new models out soon!

For the price, you cannot go wrong.
In fact at most prices you cannot go wrong.
Last Friday I did all the formal shots for a Corporate dinner, knowing that I would get great results. And indeed I did. It is a plastic fantastic (the body and bayonet that is, not the optics).
As for improvement over the Kit lens, it is a no-brainer, you will see a noticable improvement in image quality.
I would fully understand if others recommend the more expensive 35mm Limited Macro, or the mighty 31mm Limited, but especially considering the price, the 35mm F2.4 is a massive bargain.
I had a comercial video shoot for a national magazine filming a cooking show.
I was able to use my kr and 35 2.4 to film sizzling food in the pan, and to be honest, I took the position, that if hot oils splashed and ruined the lens, it would be easier to replace... and it delivered the goods, optically so no compromises either, for that job.

Well I'd argue that you are a PU customer Chris, you use a PU product (the forum) which is supplied to you at no charge.
