My first one was bought "demo," and quickly the flash sync stopped working and the shutter release became unpredictable, then I found out "demo" can also mean a refurbished camera (prior owner), and I angrily returned it and paid the difference for the one I have. Got it last month, three year warranty, just noticed today the flash sync isn't working anymore. I'm sure Solms is already up to its neck in complaints. I've resigned myself to finding a third, cheap body to use while one is in the shop. Glass is great, though. I don't regret buying into the system, and I do like the bodies, but man they better get their act together if they want to be taken seriously be the professional community at-large. Dave Yoder
