edroper Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hi, I have a used D1 on the way ( found a deal that was too good to pass up ), and was wondering what the expected life time is of the D1's shutter mechanism. The seller told me he's put around 11,000 on it so far ( bought new 2 years ago ). He's not a pro and its in very good condition. How many shutter cycles can I expect to get out of a late model D1 in near mint condition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Nikon's top drawer film camera shutters are rated at 150,000 cycles without failure or major deviation. I imaging D1 would not be given anything less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_h._hartman Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I would guess 75,000 to 100,000 cycles for the D1. If 75K thenyou have 85% of the expected life of the shutter remaining, if100K then 89% remaining. 11,000 cycles? No sweat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
