PLEASE BE AWARE: It is very common for earlier Canon EOS SLR 35mm
film cameras to have serious problems with the shutter "hanging-up",
ruining precious photos and causing major headaches. If this problem
has not been professionally fixed, your pictures will come back from
the developer with half of the image "cut off" (that portion of the
picture will just be BLACK).The first series of Canon EOS
35mm SLR film cameras have always been cherished by their proud owners.
Everyone I have ever met who has owned one simply LOVES IT. These are
GREAT cameras with a stellar record of steadfast owner loyalty and
satisfaction. However, there is one "fly in the ointment", a sticking
shutter problem that affects many of these models at some point.This
trouble is caused by a tiny little rubber part that resides inside the
shutter mechanism. It is not easily accessible and will require the
services of a certified Canon technician. This little rubber "bumper"
can "melt" over time, due to heat, atmospheric conditions and age. This
disintegrating little part results in an ugly sticky "goo" that gets on
the camera's very delicate "shutter curtains". This problem can easily
be seen if you look at the shutter with the film compartment door open
(with no film in the camera, of course). That is why it is important
for an eBay seller to include a very clear photo of the rear of the
camera, with the back wide open, so potential buyers can confirm for
themselves that the camera does not suffer from this very common
shutter problem.THE ONLY
REASON THESE CAMERAS OFTEN SELL FOR FAR BELOW THEIR TRUE VALUE ON EBAY
IS BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HEARD FRIGHTENING STORIES ABOUT SOMEONE
WHO HAS GOTTEN "STUCK" WITH ONE OF THE BAD ONES!WARNING:
MANY CANON EOS 650 / 620 / 630 / 750 / 850 CAMERAS SOLD ON EBAY HAVE
NEVER BEEN PROPERLY REPAIRED TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION, AND THEY ARE
VERY LIKELY TO EVENTUALLY FAIL!
