Remember when you could actually fix a shutter with just a screwdriver and a steady hand?
I was at a camera show in Chicago maybe ten years back, and a guy brought me a classic Nikon F with a sticky curtain. I popped the top plate off right there on a folding table. Fixed it in twenty minutes with some lighter fluid and a tiny adjustment. Now, half the stuff that comes into my shop is mirrorless with a sealed unit. If the shutter goes, you're swapping the whole assembly for a part that costs more than the camera is worth sometimes. It feels like we're moving from repair techs to part swappers. What's the most repairable modern camera you've worked on lately?
