Assume that almost any LX you can buy, short of one that's virtually new, will need a CLA and replacement of the mirror box pads. But once that's done, you'll be golden for quite a few years. In any case, consider that you're going to spend around $150 more than the purchase price. But it's still in your interest to hunt for as new and as perfect a camera as you can find. Be selective. There are a lot of them out there. You don't have to settle for the first one. Paul
