I also used an FM and FE2 professionally for over ten years and they all developed shutter bounce and eventually needed complete new shutter units (one needed two replacements) But i guess if you wanted to ran as much film through the camera as i did then you'd use the F2 or 3. Glad I use Leica M now for the same stuff. mark rabiner
