Me too!!
I also used an FM and FE2 professionally for over ten years and they all
developed shutter bounce and eventually needed complete new shutter units (one
needed two replacements)
But i guess if you wanted to ran as much film through the camera as i did then
you'd use the F2 or 3.
Glad I use Leica M now for the same stuff.
