PS: As an addendum, IMHO, a CLA should be factored into the cost of any used camera, especially one as old as an MX (unless, of course, the seller tells you that it's been recently CLA'ed). Also, you mention that you've heard of mirror problems before. I wonder if you're thinking of the LX, some of which did indeed have a sticky mirror, and the fix isn't always easy or effective, AFAIK. I've not heard of sticky mirrors being endemic to MXen. cheers again, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
