I've touched my ME-S and ZX5's shutters a few times without consequence. I travelled at Scotland this summer, one K-2 went irrepairable, so I could use ohnly my second K-2, the PZ-1 p and LX bodies. Pushing a finger into the shutter (not completely through) of the PZ-1 p, I rearranged the shutterblades, only one of them heavy crumpled, made a test-film and all was o.k. Shutterblades are moved only from one side in this shutter, moving free in a slot on the other side - an therfore the damage was not so severe and I use this body untill today without a repair ...
