Had to pack the camera away in its box. It convinced me that I could not travel with only one body, so even last year in Antarctica, I carried a spare 'blad body. The risk with the digital fantastics is that being so expensive, you are tempted to have just one: after all, you don't need b/w and colour film or fast and slow film, it all comes in one package and that is why you can afford the camera in the first place BUT if it fails. Sorry to hear of your fate: it could be an easy "re-set" as the shutter was on my X700 Minolta all those years ago cheers On 02/01/2007, at 7:11, Hugh Thompson wrote: > The M8 locked up on me today, not just temporarily, as some have > done, but completely.
