I have just bought a used R6 that is very nice, it's within the shop's guarantee period (it's even within the approval period so I could return it and get my money back) and it did something it shouldn't have. I was playing around with it with a lens on it, no winder, cable release or anything else, and one shot at 1/8th locked up; the mirror stayed up and the diaphragm stayed stopped down. After a bit I turned the shutter- speed dial and it unlocked itself and it worked ok after that. In every other respect it seems really ok, very nice condition, etc. What I want to know is; is this a good reason to give this particular camera a miss and try another, or can I just get it serviced under the shop's guarantee (and expect exemplary performance thereafter?). My inclination is to keep it, get it looked at, and then I'll have a newly serviced R6. Does this make sense? I know its the weekend, but swift responses particularly appreciated so I can decide what to do. joe b.
