[OM] OM-1 shutter shudder (was 200/f4 + Shutter Shudders)

[Dan Lau]

I think what Ron was saying was: Is it possible that the air shock
absorbers in the older OM-[12][N] cameras wear out, and therefore
need to be "re-charged".  You know how the shock absorbers in cars
wear out and need to be replaced, the question is does that also
happen to the shock absorbers in cameras.  Any information on how
many shutter cycles these shock absorbers can handle before they
wear out?
