Fred, Sending your LX's to Canada was an option I considered, but feared the border hassles. I approached Pentax USA with some trepidation.
One thing that helped me with Pentax USA was using rush service. For $25 or so, a real person takes care of your order. It works like this. Call Pentax USA service in Colorado. Tell them you need rush service. The service writer gives you their name and asks you to send the item to their attention. When the package arrives, they get it directly and walk it over to a service tech for immediate repair. They call you back with the estimate and then arrange to ship it back to you. I much prefered this arrangement. (As an insight, I sent our favorite A*135/1.8 in for a repair after the focus began to loosen up. It was my first experience with rush service and I didn't get it quite right. I had failed to put the guy's name on the outside of the package. After 5 days, I called in a panic. He went to the mail room or wherever and picked it up! Everything went smoothly from there on.) Regards, Bob S. [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << Ship the two bodies together or separately?
