Re: I'm a VERY BAD boy!!!
Sorry to burst your bubble Don, But, come back to me once you have at least four :-) Congratulations. You will truly enjoy it ;-) Still my favorite camera to shoot, César Panama City, Florida Don Sanderson wrote: Mine, mine a mine! Soon I'll be all powerful..No! I'll be omnipotent, YES, that's it! ;-) Actually, I've had my eye on an E+ one at Adorama for some time. This one was too much to resist. Adorama still had that one for $495.00 a few hours ago. A few months ago they were about $100.00 less than now. The only Pentax MF body I've seen go up in price lately. Some other good ones like the K2 are going for peanuts. Figured now was as good a time as any, I've wanted one for years. Believe it or not I've never even seen one in person, this'll be quite a treat. Christmas in June!

Re: I'm a VERY BAD boy!!!
Mike is talking about the winder cover on the cassette side. I have shot a few rolls without such a cover very early in my LX carreer with no problems though. I have heard that you do not want to even try this with a Nikon F3. Hmmm, maybe I should try that with one of mine - just for argument sake.

RE: I'm a VERY BAD boy!!!
Hi Mike, The brassing and other flaws don't bother me at all, I intend to use this one and not display it. I have 3 dead mint black bodies (KX, K2, ME Super) that I can't bring myself to use for fear of being the one to cause that first scratch. I agree that it's not a 9, but then I have a Nikon F3 that's more brass than black that I consider gorgeous too. Eyes of the beholder and all that! ;-) I have a winder cap I got with a box of odds and ends that's marked LX?, we'll see if it really is.

Re: I'm a VERY BAD boy!!!
Looks to me like it's only missing one drive cover, and the previous owner wisely chose to use the one he had to cover the film rewind hole. E.R.N.

Eyes of the beholder and all that! ;-) In common with quite a few other posts (I thought it was quiet yesterday) this didn't turn up in my mailbox until about 14 hours after you wrote it. I was concerned that you thought you had bought a nearly mint example. It's a good deal for the price, even factoring in a CLA. I'm not jealous at all. No, not me. Never. I have a winder cap I got with a box of odds and ends that's marked LX?, we'll see if it really is. In the manual, it insists that the other end has to be in place. I would play safe and do that one, too. Er, what other odds and ends do you have?.. 8-) Don -Original Message- From: mike wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 1:14 AM To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net Subject: Re: I'm a VERY BAD boy!!!

Re: I'm a VERY BAD boy!!!
This is all part of your ploy to take over the world, isn't it? Why is it that everytime I see an LX or some other goody, the bidding has already gone above KEH prices? It's a conspiracy, I tell ya. Anyway, congrats. Hope you like it. Damnit. On 6/6/05, Don Sanderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Lookie what..
