Basically it was working fine a week before I noticed the problem. 2 perfectly exposed rolls of Velvia showed there was no problem. Then a week later I picked up the M7, dry fired it, and noticed the speeds were off. Two weeks after the camera store's 6 month warranty expired. I only bought this camera in June 2010, and really don't want to pay such a big repair bill on it already. Now I have this hefty repair quote. I'm thinking maybe it would be cheaper to send to Sherry Krauter, or DAG. Any ideas? Peter Cheyne
