Hi, Philip First of all - welcome to the Group, mate - and my apologies for taking so long to acknowledge your application to join. Mea Culpa, etc, etc - I've been having some problems with acessing Yahoo stuff, which was apparently due to me still using IE7. Now I've got upgraded to IE8, things seem A - OK. BTW - if anybody else is experiencing similar problems, I suggest you do the same! The upgrade is free.

Thanks for the tip about BH Photo stocking 620 Fuji Velvia. That sure sounds better than going through the angst of reloading 120 flm onto 620 spools, or resizing 120 spool ends to 620 proportions. Do you know how much BH are charging?

Regarding the bent shutter arm on your Series 11 Duo, are we talking about the chromed vertical arm that actually attaches to the shutter internals, or the black painted actuating arm that moves laterally when you hit the shutter button on the top cover? If as I suspect, it's the latter, then it's maybe the dog-leg arm that's got bent. This is only made from mild steel AFAIK and could be realigned with a tweak from a pair of pointy-nose pliers, if the bend isn't excessive.

It's not an unusual problem with folders that have a remote shutter release on the top cover. Some post-war British Ensign Selfixes are common sufferers from the same malady.
