Well, yes, actually I used to use a little piece of black gaffer's tape to hold that little door on the right-hand side of my EOS-1 shut more securely -- it was easy enough to peel an end up whenever I needed to get to the battery check or Custom Function dealies or whatever, and I didn't have to be annoyed when the damned thing flapped open when my right hand got a little sweaty and created some sort of suction or sticktion. Yes, it seemed a little silly; no, I didn't think it'd do any good to whine to or about Canon; yes, I continued to respect the camera as a remarkably effective picture-taking machine. In fact, I still respect the EOS-1 series; I just prefer not to live with 'em day-to-day, when I can use these weird old-fashioned German things instead. -Jeff M.
