The LX listed on ebay is mine. I've decided to get rid of all of my manual focus bodies (just keeping a PZ1 and PZ1p) because I've discovered what looks in focus to me often isn't (function of aging and already bad vision). I don't have the problem with focus when I wear contact lenses, just when I wear glasses (which is 95% of the time). I may end up selling those bodies too and just go with an MZ-S and my digital stuff.
That being said, I will be putting a complete LX kit (body, multiple MF lenses, AF280 flash, winder, and other LX specific accessories) up for auction this weekend. The LX body in that auction was given a thorough rebuild (not just a CLA) by Pentax USA to the most recent set of LX standards (which was pretty expensive) in February of 2001. I don't want to discourage you from bidding on this auction, and the price for the package I list this weekend will be pretty steep (if it doesn't go as a package I will part it out). But I just wanted to keep a fellow PDMLer in the loop.
