Ever had a client come back years later and the style is still perfect? That's gotta feel amazing.

Totally get that. See it all the time when people ask me about cars. They want a universal fix, but I'm just telling them what worked on one specific Honda Civic on a rainy afternoon.

Exactly, those monthly savings add up fast. It's the kind of upgrade that pays for itself quietly over time. Makes the initial cost much easier to swallow.

Yeah, well, my life is basically a series of those.

Oh man, I feel that. My own AE-1 Program is basically a paperweight because I tried to fix the shutter and now it just makes a sad whirring noise. I’m pretty sure I have more camera parts in my “oops” jar than in the actual camera. For that gear, you might have to just haunt eBay for a parts-only body. They show up pretty often for cheap, and then you’ve got a whole other set of problems to tinker with.
