Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
This is the best mechanical/electronic camera I have ever seen. It has the fit in the hand and small size typical of the best of Pentax, with intuitive controls and quick handling. It handles the superb Pentax lenses. The sole problem: The neckstrap by Op-Tech (I've had four) don't stay attached to the lugs. I finally had to have the strap springs screwed together to keep the camera from falling off the straps. I got my first Spotmatic in 1967 and think the LX is the last of the great Pentax cameras.
