See.. I knew that subject would draw your attention..
2 of your fellow forum dwellers have supplied me with a 2000FC equipped with a wrecked shutter. The (slightly ambitious) plan is to equip this camera with new shutter curtains. Not titanium foil like the original, but a very thin & lightweigth high tech polymer material.
Although there are working prototypes in existence it remains to be seen if I will succeed. I volunteered to be the Guinea pig for finding out if the instructions and procedure are do-able for a non-pro.
Anyway, for now I present you with some pictures of our research project.
As you might be able to see in the last picture one of the thin 'cables' that propel the curtain is broken (lefthand bottom). Whether this was the cause of the wrecked shutter I can't tell, but this shutter sure has seen better days.
