Can it be serviced?

I agree...

Frame rates are huge. The 5008 was a step backwards in many ways. To me the 4008 is the peak of S8 cameras. It wasn't matched until the 6008Pro in my mind and even then the 6008 was plastic--Ick.

Buy a 4008 and be happy.

Good Luck

...on frame rate 4008:

do you guys ever change frame rates mid-shot with your 4008 for a normal to slow motion effect? I noticed the dial moves while running, but haven't tried this..

Yes, I have done ramps and they work. I have never ramped all the way up to 70fps though.

Good Luck

[quote="Nigel"]"Let it Bleed" by the Stones was better...

Amen Nigel. The Stones are the Alpha and Omega, the end all and be all when it comes to "Rock and Roll".

And after 40+ years in the trenches they can still bring it.

I honestly believe there legacy has yet to be truly realised.

I can't wait to see them again for the fourth time this March.

Stones: "Their Satanic Majesties Request" released 8 December 1967

original: released June 1, 1967

Wikipedia abt "Their Satanic Majesties Request"

Released that December, Their Satanic Majesties Request was not well-received -- often viewed as a pretentious, poorly conceived attempt to outdo The Beatles and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

may mention that Decca turned beatles down in 1962 because:

By this time, The Beatles had hired Brian Epstein as their manager and he signed them up for an audition with Decca Records. The head of Decca Records told The Beatles manager, "Guitar groups are on their way out Mr. Epstein.". The Beatles were devastated by their failed audition but Epstein secured them a contract with Parlophone Records. George Martin became their A&R Man. In August of 1962, Pete Best was replaced by Ringo Sta
when they later saw the success of the Beatles they desperately tried to find "copy clowns" which became the Stones and which as the rest surfed on the wakes of The Beatles.

apart from regulary cloning a beatles hit now and again their first real hit was written for them by lennon and mccartney and without the beatles this would have been just another of those groups youd never heard of.

Satanic Majesty's Request may seem a bit contrived and not their best overall effort (try Sticky Fingers) but 2000 Light Yearts From Home has to be one of the best psychedelic songs ever (with or without an attitude adjustment ie: LSD, orange sunshine, psilocybin etc.)

I can not believe you called the Stones "copy clowns". Would you please sell me $10.00 worth of whatever it is you are ingesting Booster beacause it must be some good shit. Your statement is undeserving of a warranted response.

By the time The Beatles started touring Australia, people thought of them as messias, public gatherings demanded them to touch and thereby heal the sick and disabled.

Oh, get over it. They were a fine Pop group, better than the Monkees, great. Don't treat them like the 2nd coming - John Lennon's point was that, at the height of their fame, people thought the Beatles had gained some mystical status. He thought that was crazy, why don't you?
