Hi Anton, I have experienced a similar problem with one of my LX bodies in the past. I isolated it to the ISO control. Since the 3200ISO position is at on of the the extremities of the dials rotational movement any foreign matter that ends up on the contact will get brushed to the contacts for 6 ISO and 3200 ISO. What I suspect that you are experiencing is that the shock of the mechanical movements of the shutter/mirror during exposure is occasionally causing a momentary loss of conductivity and hence modifying the OTF exposure duration. The solution may be a simple as to have the ISO contacts inspected and flushed or if that's of no help then have them replaced. I'd like to know how you fare as I appreciate how frustrating intermittent faults can be (for both the user and repairer). Good luck.
