In answer to Len's original question - my 2 Pentax LXs are still in regular use. I bought the first one new in 1981, so it's just passed it's 27th birthday. The other one's a newcomer, I've only had it 14 years. Both have been serviced every 10 or 12 years or so. I do a lot of close-up photography, mostly moths, fungi, and the like, and the waist-level viewfinder makes life a lot easier when you're grovelling around on the woodland floor, staring at a mushroom that's only an inch high! I'm not as flexible as I was, so the right gear helps no end.
The Pentax LX. "Cult" Camera or Relic?
