And on a digital to boot! Lowest cost repair I ever had was just around $200 to get a IIIf shutter curtains and fully back up to factory spec. Sherry K brought my M4 back to life after combat in Iraq and a swim off the coast of Spain. That cost as much as a user M4, but the camera and I are attached, so it was worth it. I don't even want to think about the possible cost of repairing my digital M bodies. (warranty!) Good to hear that the DMR service cost was so low!
