It's been CLA'ed a year ago...
I'd suggest that it's typical of the LX ... while the camera is "supposed" to be very precise, I've never had one that was... Shel
Surprising...
Shel has said that he does not fully wind but uses a series of short strokes. I think this causes the inaccuracies. Yes, the camera 'should' be able to accomodate nonstandard usage, but it seems not to.

You lucky guy. Cold doesn't affect photographers when there is something to catch (apart from a cold)...
My LX was serviced by Pentax UK last year. It was brought to "new standard condition" on all functional assemblies.
With the winder attached, I get irregular spacing. Without winder, it does not seem to happen. The winder was not serviced. It seems that the _real_ problem is that the LX will _allow_ irregular spacing if, for example, the winder is not functioning correctly or the user is not winding fully. I would check my technique first and then, if irregular winding is confirmed, get it serviced.

The LX I had with me gave a strange sensation when cranked during the rainy days. Friction was felt as in the need of lubrication. (I know it does not as this is probably a ball bearing mechanism.)
On that aspect, it looks like the LX is often not as precise as stated by Pentax... Not that big a deal anyway.
