> Why Bruce, why? This was determined this past summer when I had to send all 3 of my LX's into the repair shop for their tri annual repair. While my cameras have a repair cycle of less than three years (closer to two years actually), in Norway, an LX has an almost unlimited life expectancy. In Canada, it costs between $300.00 and $500.00 every repair cycle to own and use an LX, which in my case works out to between $150.00 and $200.00 per year, and adds between $.60 and $1.00 to the cost of every exposure. For the price of running my LX's, I can shoot 6x7 or 4x5 instead. Pentax Canada also wants hard currency for repairs. Reindeer poop is not hard, even when frozen.
