Too late, I think. I've told him in the past just how good those things are. All I can do is offer them a good home (and tempt them with some A* glass) and hope he doesn't charge me ebay prices :) I was talking to the owner of the camera shop last night and he told me how he found an LX at an insurance auction. It had been in a 4WD which overturned in a river. The camera had been stored somewhere around roof- level so it spent a few hours underwater. He picked it up for 50 bucks (NZ dollars, worth about half that in US currency) and it still works today without repair, over 10 years later. Cheers, - Dave David A. Mann, B.E.
