Hi Jon, it doesn't say which camera but by the multi exp. I guess the LX. The exposure compensation dial on many Pentax bodies can cause this problem, as can the linkage to the lens as you suggest. The fix for both is usually quite simple, work the dial/linkage back and forth about 2 zillion times. This will clean the contacts and slider and eliminate erratic behavior. If this doesn't work a shop will have to take a look at it.
