I sent an LX in to PCI that didn't have sticky mirror. I told them to replace all the foam and any parts that were associated with sticky mirror, just on general principles, as I don't think PCI will be suporting the LX for many more years, so I wanted a complete job done now. The camera came back with all new foam, a new mirror rest, and sticky mirror. I sent it back and they replaced a bunch of mirror mechanism parts. This is the camera that I got back a couple of weeks ago that appeared to have sticky mirror out of the shipping box from Pentax. It would appear that the camera got jarred somehow in transit, as the mirror has been working fine. Its nice to have the fleet back in service. William Robb
