And it is not always repairable. I've had one that the repairman could not reach. Stuck ring on the way. Andre, you are correct, sometimes fixing the stuck shutter costs too much. I would not buy a chrome GIII QL17 with a stuck shutter, and I eventually dismantled my wife's old stuck Canonet. Given that this is a black one, however, buying it at $40 is a no brainer. Even better that the shutter works! Aaron
