Subject: Noisy *istD shutter
I have had my *istD for about 10 months now and the other day the I got a proverbial "funny" noise. It sounds like the shutter is making a rough zip-like sound (though I suppose it could be the mirror). Exposure still seems to be OK, but I don't feel comfortable about the mechanical stability of the camera (quite apart from strange looks from people nearby). This is no longer a stealth camera <g>.
Has anyone heard of this? Should I send it off to Pentax for repair? I am in Vancouver, so I have to send it to Ottawa for repair - any thoughts on packaging it safely?
