I'll update this description when CLA has been completed. Update: 3/2/19-Eric said he couldn't fix it due to a torn shutter trailer (?). I sent it out to Mark Hama in Georgia. He said that he could fix it, but that it would take some time. 18 months later, I received the camera back in working order. This is a great old jewel that I will enjoy using for many years to come. Also, when I tried to upload this edited review, I kept receiving an error stating "Your serial number is invalid. It should contain 7 digits." There are many APs in the database with 6 digit S/Ns. Mine originally uploaded with the correct 6 digit S/N. I had to change it by adding a zero to the beginning of the number but the correct S/N is 147858. | May, 2017 | |
