[lluisripollphotography at gmail.com (Lluis Ripoll)]

Peter,

I have never heard about this?. I?m sorry. Did you never CLA?D your IIIF? 
When I had mine I had as well problems with the shutter and Malcom taylor 
has replaced it by a new one, call and ask him, he is a very honest person.

Good luck!
Lluis
