In Repair and NOT Happy about it.

Last Sunday during our day trip to Algoma, my rangefinder camera's shutter jammed again. It is the second time this happens in four months, which added to the fact that I bought that camera brand new, are reasons to not be very happy about it. Yesterday I sent it to California again for repair under warranty, which it is a total hassle (economically and practically speaking) and which not only sets me back on my project "Marina", but also happened at the really wrong time, since the Port Washington Maritime Heritage Festival will be in couple of weeks and not sure if I will have it back before that. Let's hope I do.


So far now and until I get it back, I am forced to pause on rolls #22 & #23 which I processed yesterday.
