Wouldn't the dents, dings and brassing on each body act as fingerprints?

And don't forget, Cesar, to install fur on the dashboard of your ElDorado

My LX is back from Colorado.

2002-12-18 Thread Cesar Matamoros II
I am still trying to catch up with all the posts - serves me right for not
looking at the mail while spending the weekend in Clearwater, Florida.  It
was down to a manageable number, but I see with last night's activity it is
back over 200.

Anyway, as the subject line states LX number 5 was awaiting me upon my
return.  If you recall, it was the first LX I have ever handled that showed
the 'sticky mirror' problem.  It is not exhibiting it now.  The bill was
$146.  I will be taking it out for a spin this weekend.  I recall sending it
out the middle of October with a note.  It took about two months - I have to
see when I approved the work though. And they returned the note I sent.  I
do not have the paperwork in front of me, but when I report on the condition
of the camera I will let you know what it states.  I remember it being very
generic.

As a side note, I picked up some slides I shot in central Florida with the
MZ-S.  It was just roll # 150 through the camera.  I guess I really do enjoy
using the LXen.  I have made many a trip with just a few of those in tow...
