Re: The Flagship/Pro Cameras from Pentax

Film era: The 35mm LX, and to a lesser degree MX, bodies were intended for professional use, but never quite convinced the market. Both are still lovely to own and shoot with, especially the LX, which is like a Swiss watch.

PZ-1p never really got any traction at all, though it was one of the most capable cameras Pentax made, because by that time Canon had invented real autofocus.

In medium format, the various versions of Pentax 645 and 67 were in heavy use by pros, especially the 67.
