No you won't. You might be able to keep shooting for a little while, but once the rubber is gone your shutter will break. The little rubber bumper keeps the shutter blades from whacking metal and bending, which they do without it. This is a well known problem on all the early EOS bodies. A guy here in Japan fortunately fixes this problem quite cheaply, but only on some of the simpler bodies. My EOS 1000S has had the fix done to it. I think some guy in the States was also doing it, look on Ebay, Canon will charge quite a bit for this service, it might be worth it for one of the better bodies. -- Jim Davis Nature Photography http://jimdavis.oberro.com Replies in plain text only please! * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
