I tripped across a cosmetically gorgeous LX body (FA finder) yesterday and it seemed to be priced right, so I impulsively purchased it (long distance). *After* doing so, I started doing a little research on it. : ) It appears that I may have taken a bit of a gamble, since it looks like a lot can go wrong with these things and a full CLA from Eric (pentaxs.com) is going to run $160-200 (!). It won't arrive until next Tuesday, so I have a lot of time to fret. : \ I believe that I bought it reasonably enough that even if I did nothing to it I could turn around and sell it for at least what I gave for it, as it sits, so I don't think I have anything big to worry about.
I'm hopeful that I can put in a mirror bumper pad and seals in the film back (myself) and be good to go, but that remains to be seen. I was hoping that those of you with an LX (or experience with them) might tell me what sort of issues you had with them (if any) and your impression of where the LX stands in the Pentax film body family. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
