This LX seems to be in really good shape with the exception of some damage it looks like it must have acquired during shipping - which is a total bummer considering everything else is so nice - even the light seals and mirror foam appear to be more than decent, and no 'sticky mirror' whatsoever. Speeds all sound accurate, viewfinder is clean and bright, meters well (so far as I can tell... this metering system is very new to me - it's clearly different than any other Pentax offering - feel free to chime in with pointer on the use of it). But then there is the bummer...
The flash hot shoe is unusable - it seems that it took a very nasty hit on the way here. The box arrived with the camera inside nothing but a ziplock bag thrown into some packing peanuts, so of course the camera was down at the bottom and to one side of the box, being protected by nothing but some very used (the box had seen better days) cardboard and sheen of zip-lock plastic. :-( Sigh. I can't get a flash onto with out forcing it - one side of the hotshoe has been literally slightly *dented* into the top of the viewfinder. I've opened a case with the seller but I intend to keep the camera if they'll issue a partial refund (this is a theme for me this week unfortunately) since I really do hardly any flash work and when I do it's normally with off-camera flash.
Sad panda face.
