Originally posted by Kai Theus Sounds like the second shutter curtain is not closing completely. You could very gently nudge it down: I think there was a rivet attaching a hinge/linkage piece that I used my fingernail to push it down about level with the bottom of the opening for the negative. My camera would continually hang up though doing the hundred shutter releases suggested above might have worked
That's exactly what it was! After a couple of actuations it now works properly.
Do you think it's from sitting too long or does it need some sort of repair?
Much thanks!
