7th Sep 2003
Overall Rating
- Value for money
well known sticky mirror, tends to occour faster in warmer climates as opposed to cooler climates if and when happens a simple fix
General Comments
Simply the best 35mm camera Pentax have ever made and likely to make
people are always commenting upon how good the K1000 or the KX(K2000) or the MX or the the spotmatics (been there had em got rid not reliable enough to stake your rep on, when your on assignment in places where the nearist cam shop is over a 1000 miles away get the pic) they simply have not used a LX industrial strenth camera, been there had em and still use them (nobody talks about the mordern stuff) flashing screens AUTO FOCUS haircut sir as for auto focus its a battery guzzaling monstrosity which always fails at the most inconveniant time, and can only focus as fast as the exp will allow how fast is that you tell me, and absolutley no use in the antartic or straights of Denmark or russian steps in winter, been there had em got rid, you simply cant beat man focus lenses
On average, people found this review somewhat helpful

Pentax unveils shiny LX Gold SLR to celebrate 60 years -- Engadget
Um, the Pentax LX Gold came out in 1981. It's not new, in fact they haven't made any LXs for about 5 years now, and I suspect LX gold production ended in the early 80s as well.
