Gene that F3 shutter isn't very vertical, unless you're lying down!

Cheers

Jeffery,

I hqave been using SLRs with vertical shutters for years, both Nikon (F3) 
and Leica (R4S
P and R8) and they have all been extreemly reliable.  I think the R8/9/M8 
shutter is a Leica design in conjunction with a Japanese
shutter manufacturer.  I don't even worry about it.

Gene
