Some of you may recall that I posted a couple of weeks ago, complaining that the LX won't fire the flash. Several mentioned that taking the cover off the prism would reveal some wires and contacts and stuff (see how well I express myself in technical terms? <LOL>) that I might want to check.
Having finished off a roll today, I took the opportunity to do just that, and it appears that everything is ship-shape in there. No dangling wires with lumps of solder on them, all contacts seem to be contacting other things. I gently jiggled connections, and all seemed solid. I didn't really want to do much more than that, as the last thing I want to do is screw things up worse. So, LX goes for it's first visit to Kominek's here in Toronto. I noticed that there was some ~very~ thin sealing that came off when I removed the prism cover; I assume that I should tell them at the repair shop what I did, so they can put more sealing in. It's just weather sealing, right? I guess I don't want water getting into the prism housing, with all those wires and stuff in there. Anyway, I'll keep everyone updated. Assuming that the problem is in the body. Hope it can be repaired easily (and cheaply), as ttl flash ability is one of the things I like best about the LX. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
