LX is a wonderful camera. All your digitals will feel like fat pigs in comparison. The exposure metering is masterful, and the range of viewfinder accessories is outstanding. If you are lucky, somebody else fixed the sticky mirror. When you get the camera, don't just fire off some shutter

Last I checked Pentax was still servicing the LX. However probably the best place to send if for a CLA, if you know it doesn't need any parts is Pentaxs.com. Eric does excellent work for reasonable prices. He just recently started charging return postage but that's a small price
