Yep, that's what I was referring to... sorry about the

Yep. Grease has thickened and gotten gummy with age. Camera needs
CLA. Shouldn't be terribly expensive, but should only be done by
someone who understands the sealing on the LX and can put it back
properly on reassembly

I've discovered that my LX acts up when it's cold. But
only when cold.
What it's
Not only that, but I've seen old grease separate in the container.
It kinda turns into oil and a more viscous grease. If something like
that is used in cameras or lenses (I'm not sure it is), it would really

Sounds like the camera could use a CLA - clean out the old lube and put in
some new.

The lower mirror bumper is not the only cause of sticky mirror, there are some
other elastic rests in the mirror box that are likely deteriorating (turning to
goo) and interfering with the mirror action.
