Hello everyone, I found the best cure for the ailment of my LX was to put it in the attic in the spare camera bag and use the MX again.

(repairs,...) Hi all, so it seems there are mostly happy users with few who were unlucky and had to spend fortune on repairs. So there is some risk I think. Well, I still don't know... I wanted the LX because I need a good main camera instead of my SFXn, keeping the K2DMD as a great backup or second body for colour/B&W choices. I wanted a body that would be easy to use (I never got truly used to SFXn, I kept forgeting to set the iso or exposure compensation back to zero,... - not that it's a bad body, it's one of the last AF bodies with completely metal guts, quite rugged and with a better viewfinder than any later AF body with exception of MZ-S and maybe Z1p, but its not my style - I want knobs and dials: a Luddite camera <b>). A body which can operate even without batteries. That won't fail on me during shooting. But it seems even the LX isn't without quirks, and with my (bad) luck in camera purchases... I simply don't know. BTW, that's another question - any members had their LX fail them in any way during shooting? E.g. in India, or even plain studio at home :) ? Thanks a lot!
