I'm sure these are the same people who lock an OM-1 mirror up and then
pull it down to getitbackintaplace. The person who touched up the first
curtain of his OM-2 with a black magic marker cus it had specks awn it.
The OM-2 mirror goes all the way up during shutter lock, so the then
customer opens the camera back and pulls ona the curtain so hard it rips
out of the bar.....
Customer education is, in some cases, an endless process.
