I might get through an entire roll or have it happen two or three times in one roll. Battery tests OK, it has happened with and without motor drive attached. Camera is then "locked", cannot do anything. Eventually it releases. Anyone wish to venture an opinion or cite experience? My main point,FYI, is to relate that when I called Don Goldberg, who has done R work for me previously, he politely informed me that due to his overall business volume, he is no longer performing any service on "R" bodies. So I will try another shop, perhaps even the good folks in New Jersey, Regards, Mike Gardner
