I agree with Jim. Sooner or later *any* RT you buy will suffer the same problem. If you really like the RT then a shutter repair will see it in working shape for many years. Alternatively you could return it and try to find an RT which has *already* had the shutter repair done. I did that a few years ago, I found one which had documented proof of recent repair. It was cheaper than buying one and paying for the repair, but it's a bit of a lottery to find one like that.... I looked for a loooong time :) Cheers Gary This message has passed through an insecure network.
