Aside: Mike, have I mentioned this before...

... to you?

I did post a thread about it, now a year or so back. I got mine repaired by having it sent  to Sigma Japan when it had developed the same problem. They replaced a capacitor on the circuit board (as I understand it), the original cap having failed. It's that which is used to store those details (and I think lens micro-adjustment info). It cost a grand $120 AUS, including a sensor clean. It hasn't missed a beat since. Curiously, though, the good old SD1M was listed on the invoice as an "Accessory" But I think you can still get such a repair done. A line to them would probably confirm, though all my dealings were through the local distributor, CR Kennedy.

Also how has the SD1 done over the years are there any issues to look out for?

I've yet to have any issues except it doesn't hold the date/time anymore. Overall it's a very well built camera body.

/End of aside.

Reply to OP:

I can confirm I have had no other issues with it (OK, apart from a dirty sensor after some time, but that's fairly common generally).
