Hi Austin, I am not entirely sure yet, it hasn't been to a service department yet (I am using my trusty RTSII in the interim). However the problem is not shutter based, it is related to the mechanical aperture feed-back mechanism. I was out shooting whilst it failed, it suffered no undue bumps or other abuse and although it has a relatively early serial number it is generally in very good condition. Once I find a suitable technician (quite difficult here, the importers are hopeless) I will let you know what the problem was. I did accidentally drop one of my RTSIIs on its prism from about 2 feet at about the same time (not a good week), it badly dented the prism cover and made it difficult to fit a flash however all other mechanical and electronic functions remained faultless.
