> I don't quite understand the complaints about the LX. <<nip> In 1975, I bought a Nikon F2s, which, over the next 13 years served me faithfully through thick and thin. It survived tens of thousands of miles on a motorcycle, a fall down a mountainside, at least 2 serious car accidents and a myriad of other abuses. In that time, it went into the shop once, about 6 months after hitting the windscreen of my car at 30 miles per hour. It finally died after being drowned in some river in Pennsylvania. Even then, it could have been saved if the owner of it had intervened properly. In 1988, I switched to Pentax and bought an LX. Over the next 13 years of relatively gentle use, it has gone into the shop no fewer than 5 times for some sort of sevice work. My other two LX's, both completely refurbished less than 3 years and 2 years ago respectively are ready for service again. > If you won't, or can't, properly maintain your gear, then move to a > disposable camera > and then you'll have nothing to complain about. Sorry, I didn't realize that we had to revere the LX. I will try to be more respectful of your deity in the future. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
