I bought my LX in the summer of 1981. It never developed the sticky mirror syndrome. It has never been used in temperate parts of the world either. In 2000, when the camera was 19 years old it developed its first fault; a switch broke so that automatic exposure didn't work anymore. At service they replaced the mirror bumpers and the resistors under the ISO dial and at the lens mount. This is done routinely at service. Anyway, the camera never developed the sticky mirror syndrome and I do believe the problem is temperature dependent. P�l - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
