Hello Everyone!

Just joined the forum.

I used to use Pentax LX when I first started out in photography 25 years ago. After 15 years of using Leica M6, I am now a Pentax prodigal son, just bought an LX on Ebay.

I would love to get some advice from those of you who use the LX, in particular information concerning where I can get my LX CLA'd and repaired. I am in Paris, France and all of the repair shops that I have contacted here no longer service Pentax film cameras.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Jason

Hello Jason

Maybe someone at PENTAX RICOH IMAGING FRANCE in Argenteuil/Bezons (so not so far from you

) will have some info where to repair?

Hello Citro,

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I contacted them and wrote an email. Let's see if they get back to me.

I found a very reputable Pentax technician in Tennessee, Eric Hendrickson. Apparently he is still in business. I will call him later today.

Are you American or French?

Many thanks again.

Jason

Enchanté!
