[QUOTE="Birds in Flight, post: 1489, member: 459"] It’s never been dropped. It’s always strapped to me. Although I do travel rough country. I have fallen with it but have managed to protect it with my body so it has never taken a direct impact. They said it had sand damage, probably from the sand storms I photographed. Mostly I photo birds in flight so a high shutter speed is required, normally 1000 to 2000. The first two times it went into the shop, as the shutter release button was pulled the shutter speed indicator dropped somewhere between 3 and 5 and there was no motor action. I could turn the lens on the body until a contact was made and the shutter speed went to normal, then it would focus and shoot. i told them cleaning the contacts was only a temporary solution I think they did it anyway so it had to go back for the second time. The second time they said they said they put a new motor in it, so now “the third time” as the shutter release button is pushed the shutter speed indicator remains at my setting but no motor sound. The AF-ON button produces nothing, no indication a button has been pushed. [/QUOTE]
