many thanks

hope your wife does not read this post

the Lx is still in the post as soon as it arrives l will arrange the lugs ready to fit a grip, always prefered the grip and verticle slung lx, my last two lx were set up that way

for me , although l love the mx, the LX is by far my favorite manual focus SLR

all l need now is to re-acquire an Lx grip and winder

always loved the Lx, indeed a thing of beauty

many thanks, luckily l kept my mx and pentax glass, always liked the lx/40 2.8 combo, so the Lx will not be too lonely on arrival

When I first met my wife, well over two decades ago she asked , 'why do you carry that camera everywhere?' my beloved LX, a year ago l sold most of my kit including two LX, , (although l mainly now shoot with Fuji x100 and x pro 1), l really regretted selling my Lx.................................and so l jumped at the chance of buying an Lx at a good price today and best of all it has had a recent CLA................................happy to say the least....yippee

I would go with the Lx every time, a legend of a camera and quite affordable in today's current climate

Thanks for all the replies chaps, well the 645 went back to the seller and l got a refund minus postage but hey ho not a total loss
