Sometimes you have to get burned in order to learn I guess. Fungus in a lens due to poor storage conditions has been one of my lessons. Before it happens to you, you think of it one way. Afterward, you are much more careful! I am very prone to being absentminded. So much so that I question if I should really be pursuing a hobby where mistakes are so expensive!
I guess I'm going to have to find out about what the cost of replacing this shutter will be. You know, I will say that both of my Canon DSLR's have been very reliable. Still, my camera is four years old. It may be time to look at DSLR #3.
Thanks for you comments on my Flickr images! I have deferred a lot of learning of good techniques in favor of seeing more. I have also deferred buying many expensive lenses. That doesn't mean I don't see the value of technique, superior lenses, and other styles of photography, it's just that my curiosity to see to next photo makes it hard for me to slow down.
I just recently obtained a couple of lenses that may be game changers for me. Arrrrgh! And now this thing with the shutter! Knowing me I might keep shooting with the camera the way it is, until it bursts into flame.
