Can't see because it wants me to allow cookies or take a sub. But the Beatles were big Pentax fans. There are a number of pics of them holding various models.

No Beatles content here, but the fourth photo in this Instagram carousel shows an LX from behind.

I dislike cookies as much as you do, but...
The Guardian is one of the very few news sites that lets you view and
read all content free of charge. Their journalism is of the highest quality.
So, I think letting them place a few cookies is a small price to pay. I
even donate them 10 quid twice every year.

I agree. I’m a paid-up subscriber. They’re far from perfect but at least they provide an alternative to the right-wing billionaire-owned media which no longer even pretends to be a free press.
Returning to Pentax, I’ve been watching an Italian film (I Cento Passi) about an anti-mafia journalist from Sicily in the 70s, and was reminded that Letizia Battaglia, a Sicilian photojournalist of the period, was a long-time Pentax user. If you search her name + Pentax you can see various pictures of her with a K1000, an LX and other Pentax cameras. Plus some of the amazing photos she took with them.

Plus they follow EU rules that allow you to reject all but the necessary
ones.

Ah, yes.
Back when I was still resident in the UK (almost 50 years ago now!) I was a Guardian subscriber,
and even now I occasionally visit their online site and have a go at the daily crossword.
I used to look forward to Araucaria's holiday crosswords, and eventually managed to finish them.
I generally had a go at the daily crossword too, and I could usually complete most of the grid.
This typically took me an hour or two, spread out over the course of the day.
I still remember one good day, though. I was taking the train up to London from Reading, and
after a quick glance through the paper I settled down to have a go at that day's puzzle. I was
able to guess the underlying theme fairly early on, and completed filling in the grid in around
15 to 20 minutes. whereupon I folded the paper and put it down on the sear beside me.
At this point the passenger sitting opposaite me said something like "Giving up on it?" to me.
I just smiled back at him - I felt that saying "No - I've finished it" might be a bit much.
