[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Thanks Steve. Looks like 1000 Euro (plus transport) for the quieter shutter and bright-line frames that I'd like. Those are 'wants' not 'needs' though. Not inexpensive obviously, but then it does involve extensive disassembly and there is the warranty extension. Maybe they'll put on the new vulcanite after they put it back together ;-). However with those sorts of figures trading up might make more sense, I would think (not that I'll be changing).
