Well, I asked the local shop (=one of the shops in my country run by a camera collector, NOT THAT LOCAL ;-)) about it and found out it might take not-so-little amount of money to do, also now the shutter not working correctly - I decided to get it fixed over Christmas - the BONUS SEASON - - Will have to spend the money that I WAS supposed to get the D/R equipments with. :-(
