If Kominek's can't repair the LX I think Frank would be hard pressed to find someone else within Canada who could. Their service, from my experience, is top notch and if it's the same Pentax guy that I'm thinking of, he'll scour for spare parts etc. in order to fix a working body.
I hope it gets fixed for you Frank :) Dave > -----Original Message----- > From: Alan Chan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 12:20 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [personal] Re: LX Repair Update > > > --- William Robb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The customs procedures for repatriating Japanese cameras are, from > > what I have heard, even more restrictive than taking California > > oranges from Saskatchewan into Montana. > > PCI in Toronto did a competent, albeit slow, repair on my LX's a few > > years ago. > > Not really, just request them to state clearly the camera was > returned from repair > and everything will be fine.
