First impressions:

It’s very little! Even by Pentax standards. The body is so tiny and light it’s almost, but not quite, too small for my small hands.

It’s quiet. The sound of the shutter is refined but not explosive.

The autofocus works better than any Pentax camera I’ve ever handled. It’s fast and sure. More on this later.

It works well with M lenses. Focus confirmation seems dead on.

It has an elegant personality. Figure that one out! Almost as good as the LX.

I like it — even though it’s not as exquisitely built as the Nikon F-100 I just tried out. (Too big and heavy, too likely to cost me all kinds of money starting up a new lens set.)

More later…
