Anyone fixes Olympus Pen F?

[mani]

Bought a condition-B Olympus Pen at a live photo-auction in Stockholm at the weekend, and it totally jammed after only ten exposures. The auction house is taking a quick look to see if the problem is easily fixed, but if not, it seems they have no guarantees, so I lose my $280 or so.

Looked like the shutter jammed and then the mirror failed to close. Thought the camera was a LOT of fun for those ten images so I'm wondering if anyone fixes Pens?

Thanks very much! Looks like I'll be getting in touch with them - if the camera I bought has any chance of revival whatsoever....

Yes, highly recommended.

Thanks again for the heads-up. Pity that they don't sell cameras too - I would simply love to get my hands on a freshly-CLAed Pen.

So if anyone knows of a reliable source, then I'd really appreciate the information!

Update: the shutter had been jammed by a tiny loose screw that was shaking around inside the workings and had somehow got into the mirror mechanism. So problem fixed! Phew!

Will still be looking out for more examples of this great camera - it really is a gem!
