In a discussion of eye-edness and the built-in bias to use the right
eye, you commented that, since you use your left eye at the viewfinder,
you compensated by short-stroking the film wind lever to avoid hitting
yourself in the right eye with the lever. Not a direct quote, just my
recollection
Shel has said that he does not fully wind but uses a series of short
strokes. I think this causes the inaccuracies. Yes, the camera 'should'
be able to accomodate nonstandard usage, but it seems not to.

Hi,
I agree. When using it by hand I tend to fully wind with one stroke

Hi everybody.
I'm back from Mongolia and looking at my unmounted slides and there
is a lot of irregular frame spacing. As the photos were taken with
an LX I understand this is not normal as the LX is supposed to be
able to register precisely the frames (so that, for example, you can

Hi Bob ...
The LX frame spacing problem has been discussed here in the past,
