You can't be optimistic with a misty optic.

Bump before it goes on ebay..
If I didn't already have one I'd buy it in a heartbeat, fine lens, bargain price. Complete with the 'A' setting on the aperture ring and a level of finish comparable to a DA* lens.

Thank you Pentax for giving a mechanism to offset at least some of this with the ability to adjust autofocus for individual lenses (on the K7 and K5 to my knowledge).

Cheers

The KX could be an interesting option in the future. The size and the robustness of the Spotmatic appeals to me, and the KX seems to be quite close in design, and may give me a similar "feel".

They KX is another great camera, great feel and ergonomics, built like a N***n FM, very robust. Apparently spares are hard to find if they ever go wrong, especially with the metering circuit, but you can always use a hand held meter.

Back to the LX: Is it easier to service than the MX? I know that the MX has internal foam seals and foam seals around the mirror box that deterioate in much the samme manner as the light seals between the body and the back part. Ideally one should change all these foam seals in the MX, and that is not a DIY project and very expensive done professionally here in my country. Is the LX different from the MX in this respect?
Fron experience the LX would be considerably more expensive (50%+) to CLA than the MX and generally requires CLA more frequently. The LX is also an enviromentally sealed body and has far more seals than the MX.
