Hi Marco, I had and EOS 1nRS and used it quite a bit for sports. The EOS 1nRS is a very good special purpose body and is not really a good backup for an EOS 1n body. You lose a lot of light so this body is really much better served with faster lenses, f/2.8 and faster. Also the AF and film advance speeds are not as fast as a regular EOS 1n when not used in "RS" mode. I have not had any problems nor have I heard of any problems not caused buy operator error with the pellicle mirrors except that you must keep it clean for the best images on film. This is not usually a problem with minor care during a lens change. Hope this helps!
