Hm, I dunno! I bought an LX with winder in 1985 and it jammed 6 month later. Got repaired within several weeks(!), failed another six month later. Then I got it back with some strange new properties: e.g. the shutter wasn't able to do times longer than 1/75 with winder or motor attached (I thought it was the winder's fault, and bought the motor...*g*) Got fixed again, then jammed again. After that they just gave me a new body without any further comments(!) - must have been 1988 or 1989. Now I had this nice button to switch metering on! :-) But I can tell you: I was quite close to jump the ship! If I hadn't had the glass and my K2-DMD... The new body has been working flawlessly until april 2001. Then the sticky mirror appeared with it's infinity-focus problems. I got myself the MZ-3 then... After I recently found Rob's website describing the problem, I got my LX fixed again and am quite happy to have it in working condition. But I really can't recall if my happy moments with the LX make up for the damn frustrating moments...at least, it always failed when I was at home. Never on my travels...*g* Thomas
