Friends,

My R-E body has decided to test my patience by randomly and without
warning, holding the shutter open when you make an exposure (camera
usually used on manual, 1/250 at whatever).  I might get through an
entire roll or have it happen two or three times in one roll.  Battery
tests OK, it has happened with and without motor drive attached.
Camera is then "locked", cannot do anything.  Eventually it releases.
Anyone wish to venture an opinion or cite experience?
My main point,FYI, is to relate that when I called Don Goldberg, who has
done R work for me previously, he politely informed me that due to his
overall business volume, he is no longer performing any service on "R"
bodies.  So I will try another shop, perhaps even the good folks in New
Jersey,
Regards,
Mike Gardner
