Thanks Steve.
Guessed I bought the last piece and after that it was taken off the material list.
The seller provided trial skin for each order for practise. However, never use them.

I really want an LX..

geauxpez · 03-21-2010, 10:55 AM

Just when I make up my mind to stop the bleeding and not invest in any more film cameras you have to go and post something like this. The body of my LX isn't worth sprucing up, I don't think, but damn, I'm tempted now.

Can I recommend deleting this thread to reduce further temptation?

True beauties.

Cheers,

Adam

Ben, those are some serious LX poisons

Lucky I got one already, although it's like a beaten up copy, at least it works as should
