[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 518580, member: 9240"] The two D1's I'm playing with will go back to my brother when I'm done no matter what. In his words, "Anything I ever shot that was worth remembering was shot with one of these." This includes the time he almost drowned in a Nat'l Guard truck in Manville, NJ (the video of the incident was all over the news and on YouTube if you go hunting). They're talismans for him. The MkIV had 420K shots before the shutter was replaced and now has another 30K on the new shutter, and the MkIII was "just serviced at 148K and still has plenty of life left on it." In his words, "Expected shutter life is like the Sell By date on food. They have to put one on there. I've never had a shutter blow up at that number. I've never had a shutter that didn't last well past that number." There's a difference in quality at the high end, for sure, so unless you're there YMMV. [/QUOTE]
