Hi Rob, yes, you are right. I meant that this flange touches and finally scratches the upper horicontal edge ( of the mirror box ) which defines the upper limitation for the incoming light. This edge is lower at the LX than e.g. at the K2. I even think the LX gives the smallest light passthrough of all Pentax K cameras.
