> Doesn't this rather prove that you are using an unreliable repairing facility? In fact, I discussed this with the Pentax repair man a couple of months ago. I can't remember the details but he claimed that many LX bodies was not in fact repaired properly as some servicing people were not familiar with the quirks of the LX. Often the symptom was fixed but not the underlaying cause. Whether the camera is inherently unreliable or whether I cannot get repairs done reliably is moot. What is germaine (to me, anyway) is that my 3 LX's are going in for service far more often than they should be. I have used both Pentax Canada facilities, and an independant repair company. None have made my cameras what I would call dependable. If Pentax can't make the camera repairs, then they have a problem. If that is what is making my cameras unreliable, then I still have unreliable cameras. My first LX, which I bought new, needed service within 3 years of being purchased. My friends F3 will be 20 this year, and has NEVER seen a repair shop. This is what reliablility is about. For the record. it doesn't matter about the reliability of the camera, it is still, in my estimation, the best 35mm camera I have had the pleasure of owning. If I thought otherwise, I wouldn't have bought 3 of them, and a bunch of dedicated accessories. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
