In the words of Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley), "It's all fixable." Okay, we like Lykas, or we wouldn't be on this list....but do we have to sound like a bunch of freaking company boosters all the time. A camera that can't take one 747 flight without developing shutter bounce is, pardon my whatever, a piece of crap. Period. I can just hear Nachtwey calling Time in New York and telling the picture desk - "About those Kosovo combat photos you were expecting...I'm afraid you won't get them - seems my wonderful Lyka developed shutter bounce on the way over here. But it's not important. The shutter can be fixed." Come on guys. It's a terrific camera, but it's produced by a company that really want to produce a boutique product with a boutique image, without providing the quality control and support that goes with it. If I buy a Parker Duofold fountain pen it is guaranteed FOR LIFE. Can't Lyka even get a "perfect" product off the shelf of the dealer and into the buyer's hands? >
