Hi, Having finally got some time to take more than the odd picture, I discover a problem with my LX, recently (in terms of films used but not time) serviced.
Using A or shutter speeds lower than X, the mirror locks up and the shutter stays open. Viewfinder LEDs do not flicker and changing batteries does not change the behaviour. It _seems_ that the batteries are losing power during storage, also. This may be due to me not noticing the syndrome at first and leaving the camera with mirror up and shutter open. Same effect with different lenses. To my embarrassment, I first noticed this problem some months ago but did not realise how serious it was. It seems to me that the electro part of the shutter is not getting a "close" signal. I assume this is a problem created during the servicing. It is _not_ "normal" sticky mirror or flat batteries. Anyone got any other ideas? mike - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
