I read the same thing at http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/pentaxlx/ If true, does this mean that we can put cigarettes out on it? I've often read that the silvering is fragile, and that SLR mirrors should be cleaned with great care, if at all. It would be nice to learn that this is another respect in which the LX is better than other cameras, but I'm not sure that I want to be the first to test it. Steve.
