----- Original Message ----- From: Anton Browne Subject: More help from LX Illuminati
> I thank you for your responses but none of you has actually run the test. I know it's a pain but it only takes five minutes. At present my feeling is that all second shutter LX's will display this fault at 3200 ISO. Have I just had a run of bad luck or can you confirm this? If you run the test I can put it to rest. Are you up for it? It took somewhat longer than 5 minutes. The results of my test on this subject are more easily viewed as a web page. Please see: http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrobb/LX_test.html All three of my LX's have been recently serviced, all have come back from the shop within the last 6 weeks. All three had their ISO resistors replaced with new ones, so should not have any possibility of corrosion, and little possibility of dirt. The results of my test are quite interesting, as they confirm your findings, but do not limit the problem to the new shutter style. In fact my two old style shuttered cameras were both the best and the worst. What I did find fascinating is the results when the mirror was locked. I think this indicates the problem may have something to do with the mirror, more so than the shutter. William Robb
