Hi Bob ... The LX frame spacing problem has been discussed here in the past, although it hasn't come up for quite some time. The first two that I had, which were older models, had irregular spacing to the point where some frames were so close together that there was no discernible space between them. Some people complained of overlapping frames. My earliest LX, which I still have, went back to Pentax twice for the problem, and the situation is much better. However, the spacing between frames is still not as accurate as the frame spacing of the Leicas, and it's clear that there are some slight differences between frames.
It's quite possible that many people don't notice this if they shoot slides which they then have mounted, or if a lab processes their film and makes prints. As one who processes and prints my own film, I'm very much aware of any variations, however subtle. I'd suggest every LX user, especially those with older cameras, take a careful look at the frame spacing, and if it's off by any degree, have it repaired while pentax still has parts available.
