Hi Dave,
Mine does`nt have the roller either, so I really can`t tell you where
it should be. Mine is 532xxx and that web page says that the 531xxx`s
and later have the roller, but mine does not. I heard (read) you were
trying to get your repairman to replace the foam (upper mirror?), I
called Pentax and ordered the little bugger when I had the camera
foamed, it was just a couple bucks.
If you would like a COOL accessory, get the FB-1 viewfinder and
FC-1 eyepiece, it took me a while to get it, but it is the best thing
since sliced bread, and the first thing I should have bought for the
LX.
P.S., Anyone have a pic of the roller?
P.S.S., did anyone else see that show about snakes on the Discovery
channel? The guy was using an LX with the FB-1 viewfinder and
FC-1 eyepiece to photograph the slithery things.
