I have, may be had? .. an EOS RT on which I recently have noticed grease
spots on shutter blades ... that did not expose my Xmas pictures but 3 :-( ...
An independant repairman just leaves me a message, he has
fixed the problem, I will see ... as Canon France dont accept anymore RT
bodies.
But I have used it with OM to EOS adapter and it does (did?) work with stop
down metering just be corrected by -1/2 stop day light and no correction TTL
Flash. I have read EOS 30 (?Elan in US) dont work, the shutter could not be
released. That is inacceptable for me ("amateur" of free software and OS
like Linux) because as you said, just a light cell is needed and a shutter to
be released.
I would try a short test on D60 by an second reseller (the first
did not pay enough attention to learn if D60 works, he really did not want to
test it) with my OM/EOS adapter ... in a while (excuse me for the delay).
Cheers
Christian
