Ahhhh,  I love this camera but not for the reasons you might think.  I love it because of its mechanical solid utility feel and look.  I acquired mine from an ad agency where I worked.  It had sat unused for 15 years and I bought it along with two Minolta lenses and battery grip for $175 CND.  Originally I was just going to hang it on my camera wall but discovered that it actually worked fairly well with its original batteries and SD card.  It can be touchy at times but as I am getting to know it better, it seems that most of my problems are just me not understanding all of its features and settings.  Anyway, I keep it sitting on a table right next to my desk.

I have a 7D that developed the black frame issue I have tried everything and it seems like it's gone the shutter works fine but simply the photos retirees are black very dark blue/purple. Seems like there is no one anymore that can repair these cameras as they were destined to die due to design. Well-done on those who still have one that works
