| 5339669 | Hidden | After holding out for almost one year on dozens of "mint" sales on ebay, I pulled the trigger on this one. Absolutely without any blemishes and without sticky mirror syndrome. Meter spot on accurate compared to my Sekonic 408 in both incident and spot mode. I lusted for an LX in the 80s at over $2,000, so not feeling awful about spending $600 in 2020. | July, 2020 | |
| 5338573 | Hidden | Near mint condition, late version, no sticky mirror problem. | November, 2016 | |
| 5338110 | Hidden | Very clean example. Supplied with "grip b" | January, 2010 | |

| 5335625 | Hidden | Sticky mirror with his brother but for a price like this, no hesitation. | June, 2012 | |
| 5335588 | Hidden | Minor dent in base plate by tripod mount and some brassing around bottom. No sticky mirror problem, otherwise the camera works great Came with standard viewfinder. Winder LX on order from KEH. | March, 2018 | |

| 5334256 | Hidden | Bought new, traded in a Super Program. Traded the LX in for the K5II in 2013. 20+ yrs of great pictures until the mirror started sticking. Add the fact that decent film was hard to come by and my local camera store closed. When I used up my final 2 rolls (stuck processing at Walgreens), it was time to go digital. | January, 1989 | |
| 5329272 | Hidden | almost mint, late version | September, 2015 | |
| 5329167 | Hidden | Bought it second hand. Had everything that the LX is infamous for: troubles with the multifunction knob, bad automatic exposures, sticky mirror. Has cost me as much for repairs as I paid for the camera.... But very nice, when it works. I still use it for b/w film and the occasional slide ;-) Emotionally no match for my old MX, though. | April, 1992 | |

| 5322195 | Hidden | Purchased used on E Bay. Found severe light leak in body, several sections of body gasket missing. Made new gasket from HD Rubber glove has worked magnificently ever after.

| 5316199 | Hidden | Bought new with SMCP-M 50mm f/1.4 lens. Purchased at a dream price from Pentax sales rep through a dealer employee purchase program. Came with my name engraved (probably to discourage resale). This is what started my 29+ year loyalty to Pentax brand! | February, 1984 | |

| 5310427 | Hidden | Bought from a previous owner who said it was working but had the infamous sticky mirror problem, but it seems OK when I got it. By the time you read this, this example of the LX will already have had it's CLA service down. | August, 2019 | |

| 5304181 | Hidden | Camera is in reasonable working order. Currently suffers from minor sticky mirror syndrome, which delays the mirror movement for the first shot if the camera is used for a significant period. Using the mirror lock up before shooting solves this issue. | March, 2011 | |

| 5303158 | Hidden | Purchased on eBay from Japan. Excellent condition except shutter was stuck. Rubber bumpers in shutter mechanism deteriorated into goo that jammed the shutter release arm. I fixed it, with some difficulty. | April, 2021 | |
