Should I understand that LX/MX screens are mechanicaly compatible with
Z1 screens?
2005/6/10, Shel Belinkoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Great to know ;-)) Might there be a greater variety of screens available
using the LX screens in an MX.
If a screen was purchased new and kept in its case, never having been
installed in a camera, would it eventually yellow and lose brightness?
