According to the SN, it's an older camera. Many have received updates and mods as they've been repaired. Check the shutter curtain for the dot pattern. The curtains with missing dots are "newer". Newest SN's (for the standard LX) are 535, etc. I recall that Rob Studdert had a few pages he put up detailing some of the differences and provided photos. Shel > From: Nick Clark
