Pro tip: I just hit my 50th fixed shutter on a specific old Nikon model and the number felt wrong

Everyone talks about volume like it's the goal, but hitting that mark just made me feel like a parts replacer, not a real fixer... has anyone else felt that way after a big count?

What if the count is proof you're the go-to expert now? That number means you've seen every weird problem that model can have. Feeling like a parts replacer misses the point of all that hard-earned pattern recognition.

Exactly, and like @andrew_shah said, that number shows you can fix the stuff the manual never covers.

Honestly I used to just count the jobs but you're right, that number is proof you know the real weird stuff.
