You should then be okay for another 20 years. It's worth it, a serviced MX is lovely to use, particularly with an 85 f1.4 - which dwarfs the little MX.
I bought a mint- KX recently, a few months later I was in a shop trying a lens that I was considering purchasing, using the KX as the test body. When I took the lens off bits of rotten foam dropped out onto the counter. The assistant wasn't impressed. Regards Anton> Thanks Anton. I am going to bring the camera in for a CLA. I was just hoping I could put it off for another month or two so I could go on my trip without any additional expenses. Perhaps I could use the ME Super's meter (which I am bringing too) or a hand held one for now and just bring the MX in after coming back from my trip.
