As long as we are comparing.... anyone know the error for an M3? (i guess M4,M5
and M2 too)
I would venture to guess that a recently serviced post 1,000,000 M3 will have
the most precise shutter of the entire M series.  But thats only because of
reputation, I would like to see if this is actually true.
