Hi Scott ... I've noticed that on my MX cameras as well. Over the years I've had four or five MX, and even after a CLA one or another exhibited such behavior. Having monitored them over the years it's not been obvious that the problem has gotten worse. Keep an eye on it and, if the spacing changes at all, send it in for repair.
