As the title says, going to ramble/complain a bit but just wanted to say that my 'pristine' copal 1 had an epic failure today. I was shooting portraits on a rooftop today in morocco and I was working fast - 50 sheets in 15 min or so and I went to trip the shutter and it made a very unsatisfying sound. A quick look to the front and there was a shutter leaf just chilling in my lens - totally detached itself. Very lame. As this lens has some heft to it and I was on a roof, I was very tempted to launch it into space. Alas, I didn't and I have all the pieces.
This just goes In the file of 'glad I bring backup gear' file.
So, what's a fix on the shutter cost???
