Jim,
I think the LX was prefered by people which thought OM's are too small for a
camera at all...
About the glass... When I look at alll the tests I have, I can say, you picked
the down zenit of worst Pentax glass, the 1.2/50 and 2.5/200.
Try the 2/85, 2.8/100 and 4/50 Macro, They are top of the best lens categories.
