That's what I was thinking but I do know the shutter needs work as does the film transport (Some speeds look like they are underexposing and one of my test rolls had two frames overlap and one roll even looked like the take up reel had somehow gotten lopsided.) They are also going to adjust the focusing which I suppose is necessary when replacing the focusing screen; I know it's critical to make sure the screen, both lenses and the film plane are in alignment. So yeah, I knew the camera was going to need work, I figured it would be more like what I paid in the past for service for my 35mm slr's but these are completely different cameras. Like I said, cost notwithstanding I'm more concerned about after I get the camera back it developing issues soon after but based on what people here are saying, the camera should give me years of reliable service.
