Hmmm, not my experience at all. My personal Blad was picked up used. Was
originally owned by a working pro, may have been regularly serviced at
that time, but then sat with no use and no service for well over 10
years. I have never serviced it, and have owned it for 5 years. One lens
needed servicing, which I did myself. I have also replaced all the back
seals which does need to be done from time to time, but is simple as can be.
The Blad I picked up for my daughter is a bit newer, and has never
needed any work at all.
