The first time I saw a CLA transform a shutter sound...
I used to think that cleaning a camera was mostly about optics, but I worked on a Nikon F2 from 1973 that sounded like grinding metal before I touched it. After a full CLA with new damping grease on the mirror box, the shutter went from a harsh clunk to a soft whisper in about 2 hours of work. The before and after audio difference was so dramatic it convinced me that mechanical feel can tell you more about a camera's health than any number on a test slide. Has anyone else had a specific model that sounded totally different after a proper service?
