Dear Zuiks,
                  one elaboration on this thread that I have not seen 
mentioned is that  some of the newer (sadly not OM) electronic cameras 
measure the shutter speed each time the shutter is released and fine tune the 
speed the next time it is set based on this feedback from the last shot(s). 
In some of these cameras this is done with an infrared LED + sensor that then 
makes these cameras uns*uitable for infra-red film which gets fogged by 
the sensor LED. This adjustment means the camera can get pretty out of 
whack before it needs a CLA.

Regards,
Tim Hughes
