Lots of Pentax glass

pro(ish) spec interchangable finders, light and compact compared to likes of Canon F1 and Nikon F3

If you fit the LX winder you can't activate the meter without taking a shot! which I understand is a design fault.(Solution press the little button on the left hand side next to the pentaprism to activate)
lens mount started coming apart.cover on wind on lever came off a few times.

As a basic body and lens combination its a nice little camera. the problem starts with a lot of the accessories which make it into a 'pro outfit' The multi finder was a nice idea in theory but made the camera very ungainly. Winder caused problems with the metering and was not really designed well.It also started to have small niggly build problems with things coming undone or falling off after a couple of years
Answer? I sold the lot and bought an F3!!!!

A good all around pro 35mm camera.
All entry points are sealed against dust and moisture.
Camera can do double exposures on previous frames by rewinding to the frame before the one you want and then advancing to the one you need, good for continuing shooting and not having a dead camera while waiting for the second exposure to present itself.

Out of production.

A good sys. camera, many diff. configurations to suit your needs.
