what to do with my voightlander RF

Folks

I've got a Bessa RF which I bought about 6 or so months ago from certo6, its now giving my trouble in cold weather. When its below -5C the shutter takes 30 or so seconds to do 1 second and sometimes it needs help too.

Certo has offered to have me send it back (I wrote to him today) but thinking about a few issues makes me wonder if its worth all the hassle. I've spent some time sorting the camera out structurally and now its quite a workable proposition (well in warm weather anyway).

The key problem is that I live in Finland. Here it will cost my a bit to post it to him, and worse I have to take it to customs to get a form filled out to allow it back into the country without getting shafted for tax (this is also calculated on the cost of postage!).

I am also concerned that Certo may not have lubricant which is suitable to the climate here (making it a waste of everyone's time).

So my options are to not bother with this and sell it to warmer climes (which leaves me without a nice compact folding camera) or spend some hundred euro on getting it overhauled by someone in Helsinki (and perhaps still have the problem).

Maybe I should sell it and get the Fuji ...

sigh

suggestions welcome


thanks
