I hope it was just a defective or dead shutter and was probably gonna get replaced soon...

That being said, I would have smoked an opus x....

A little wet clean, and that thing would be good as new!

I'll bet there's been ashtrays that were worth much more than $2500 and worked better.

A genuine Canon grip is recommended for best effect.

That could be a great beginning for an ad for a sensor cleaning gizmo.
