Thank you! So any advice on repairers? As it happens I'll be working round the corner from Fixation next week, so they are looking like favourites unless anyone says "don't do it!"

Thanks for the replies. Sadly the dial still hasn't started working, so I've just done the big battery-out reset. Good news: Exp comp is now back at 0. Bad news: I now can't turn off JPEG images. I've also just realised I'm stuck in noisy single-shot drive mode. I should be able to muddle...
