Oh yes No1 is a gem...

Start of the manufacture to order...? Four weeks delivery...!

Excellent

Stick with it Peter, Hope all goes well in the very near future. I also suffer a medical condition which affects my eye workings. So I know how frustrating it gets. Looks like you have a fantastic team working alongside you. So fingers crossed.

Thanks.. My first thought was a little over processed.

Still playing out with my K5II as K1 still not repaired yet.. Paid a visit today to Heswall. Found a lot of delapadated boats..

Still processing the others..

Nice work Peter... My first reaction to the male shots. Was that they were selfies. As they were lookalike models... Love the structured edits..

Thats brilliant.. Well done. Camera back in action and saved a few quid.

No further comment..

Found an alternative repairer. Posted it off today. Which will hopefully save a little time. 1st Aid repairs. https://1staidrepairs.co.uk/
They first checked they can obtain the part needed. Quoted £62 for the shutter, & £150 labour. Inc sensor clean. Camera service and return postage. So let's hope this is now problem solved..
PS. My retailer Wex outsource their repairs to a company by the name of Fixation. Based here in Manchester. I was chatting with their technician. And though he couldnt repair it. Gave me the name of a company DK audio. https://www.dkavs.co.uk/about-us/ Maybe one for the future.
