As Bong said, it's a Cleaning, Lubrication and Adjustment. On mechanical cameras (all cameras, I guess) it really should be done on a regular basis, every couple of years or so. Honestly, I wait until something goes wrong (bad frank) but it's regular maintenance that should keep that thing going for a long long time. My shop here in Toronto used to charge about $125, which is high (but they do a good job). Lubing the rails yourself could lead to much more costly repairs; I'd be inclined to have it done by pros. It's a good investment in a fine, fine camera. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
