You're right there, George. I was a happy Pen FT user for years until I
joined the Pen F Register, a postal club for users. Their newsletter kept us
up to date on the spare parts stock at Olympus UK, and the day I read that
there were no more shutter brake assemblies to be had anywhere in the
country I panicked and sold my beloved Pen FT, which had never given me any
kind of trouble. What an idiot! When I joined this List I promised myself
that I wouldn't over-react to such news again, after all, reliability is
largely a matter of chance. My first electronic flashgun was a National Lite
ST-38 and I had it for years without problems but I read later that it was
discontinued after only a couple of months because it was so unreliable.
