Re: Ebay LX
It does include a lot of stuff. If it is really like new his expectations might not be too high if he sold each piece independently. Norm Baugher wrote: I think he'll be hanging on to this one just a bit longer http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=3800614403category=15240
Ebay LX Thingie
The only thing I could think of as I was looking at it was that it was to do the same function as the roller that is in that spot in newer LX cameras. That way, as the motor drive is chugging along, it is keeping the film taunt for the takeup spools.

Re: spotted on ebay: LX ????
Christian... I was just about to list this same question on the list? What is up? 3200 ASA in 1980? It is a pre-1982 serial number according to the list I usually reference and it does have the earlier shutter-lock collar but the faster ASA range I don't get. Also, $800US...I'm sorry, but I wouldn't pay that for a lx2000. And, did you notice that the camera is missing part of the lug on the bottom left in the picture? Geez, I don't understand some eBayers. All I can say is I wish I was selling it. I'd buy a 6x7 with that dough... Brendan MacRae - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Hi Dave, I'd be more than happy to sell you CDN $800 worth of cold, hard Canadian currency for US $1250. In fact, I'd be happy to sell it to you for just US $800. Such a deal, eh? Just pullin' yer leg, of course. I think the current exchange rate is -- what -- 64 US cents per CDN $1? Or thereabouts? You're multiplicationing when you ought to be divisioning.

Re: spotted on ebay: LX ????
I have seen cosmeticlly good looking LX's in Henrys etc thet run aboyt $799-$899 Can d That price would be +- $1250-1300 USd. $799-$899 CDN may be a fair price for a cosmetically good looking LX from a reputable dealer, but I think that would convert to only about $500-$600 USD (which also sounds reasonable). Certainly, Dave, $800 USD for an LX from an eBay seller who has slipped in an as is statement seems much too high. Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: spotted on ebay: LX ????
Are you saying this is a reasonable price? If so I disagree. No, Brendan, I think it's already too high (at $800 the last time I checked). It does look like it's in pretty good shape for a 1980 LX, but the seller is selling it as is (if I read his somewhat low-key mention of that correctly). That's a lot of money for an old LX that may already be showing signs of sticky mirror, and which cannot be returned. Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

- Original Message - From: Christian Skofteland Subject: spotted on ebay: LX Ok, the claim is for an original sales receipt for 15 July, A.D. 1980 yet he claims the top ISO is 3200. Am I missing something? Thats crazy. 800 bucks US for an old style LX? Sheesh, last year, I bought a recently serviced LX, with a winder, and the FB-1 and FC-1 and the regular finder and a never ready case for 900 bucks Canadian. After I sold what parts of it I didn't want, the camera body and winder cost me about 500 bucks. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: Ebay LX deal
I would be a wee bit cautious of that one. It looks good, but why has this exact same camera been up for auction before? I seem to remember seeing it twice before on two different occasions. I know I've seen it at least once before, about 2 or 3 days before the current auction started. Jody. --- David P.

Some ebay LX comments
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=1215748651 I received the above listed equipment I won in an ebay auction today. Initially I was somewhat disappointed because my first impression was that the equipment was significantly more beat up than the auction indicated. A more detailed examination yielded a somewhat different impression. The LX body is probably an 8+, with the exception of the rewind lever, which has almost completely lost it's plastic sheathing. I plan on contacting Pentax USA and finding out if that can be replaced. The rest of the body is in excellent condition, with minor brassing on a few edges. The FA-1 finder condition is best described as "must have been used to hammer nails." A couple of serious dents, white paint missing from the letters that spell out PENTAX, and a somewhat dirty field of view. The poor external condition of the finder was what gave me my initial negative impression. The SMC-M 35mm f/2.0 is what KEH would likely call "bargain" condition. The lens body shows significant wear, with the finish gone from any sharp edges. The lens operates perfectly, and the glass is clean. The Winder LX is 9.0 shape, with the exception that the leatherette is starting to peel in two spots. A judicious application of adhesive should fix that. The previous owner did not, however, store the winder caps in the spots reserved for them in the winder, so they are missing. Despite the somewhat rough overall appearance, the camera seemed to function perfectly once fresh batteries were installed. No sticky mirror, no infinity focus problems. I put my Dial Data back on the body and shot two rolls of film, 12 exposures each of 200 and 400 Kodak Gold. Presuming I can get to the local photo shop tomorrow, I'll have the film developed and scan the negatives to see how things turned out. David - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
