Sid, I can't speak to the metering. I've had strange metering, but not as wacky as your. A new aperture resistor fixed it and the part wasn't expensive as part of a CLA.
The infinity focus issue is another manifestation of 'sticky mirror syndrome' to be cleaned up with a CLA. Ask ENReed, but the last LX overhaul I had done at Pentax was under $200. Call Colorado and ask to speak to Art, the LX specialist. Regards, Bob S. Sid writes: > Well, the LX went down in flames, so to speak..
