Hi, so, is getting an LX body really worth it? I have an K2DMD body and a SFXn body which I will sell to fund the LX, BUT - is the LX really worth it? What about the horrid stories of sticky mirror and other nightmares? What if I am unlucky and get an LX which will need repair all the time?
I want an LX because it is a system camera, unlike my K2DMD. The LX can use different screens, winders/motors, ... but my K2DMD can use only one rare "motor" (rather slow at 2.5fps), no screens (which is a pity, as the original screen is not up to todays standards),... Also, the K2 has quite noisy and vibrating shutter mechanism, even if mirror is locked up. Is the LX beter in this regard? Does it also lock up the aperture stopdown lever? So you LX users, no winks ;-) this time, are you really satisfied with your LX? Did you have to invest much money in the repair?
