Really interesting solution with the LED light! Does the LED light, since it's on during a long exposure, affect or "pollute" the exposure at all? I wonder if you could reverse it, so that the light is off during an exposure, and only comes on when the exposure is finished instead...

I drape it over the back of the LX pointing away from the scene so it hasn't been an issue. You can also substitute a little piezo alarm too.

I just realized that it took me 4 years but I finally got a Pentax ME Super!

Due to unfortunate circumstances that my newly acquired MX spent a longer time in rehab (it seems the tech is getting more and more busy these days) I decided to buy a used ME super and I LOVE this gem! The shutter is relatively less noisy BUT this camera has quite a kick when the mirror moves.
Anyway, as notoriously known, the exposure compensation scale is confusing. Can anyone confirm that it only has 1 stop increment as +/-1 stop & +/-2 stops? No halves?
