Thanks for bringing up the tinted film ends. I've been having troubles with those and feared it might be a shutter issue.
My film holder is broken however so this makes a lot of sense. I'll have to order a replacement sometime soon.
There are ways to ameliorate the tint in post (not counting cropping). I'm weighing buying one of those glass negative flattener thingies -- weighing the pros and cons of introducing two more dust-hosting surfaces into the equation. The place where I get my developing done generally returns fairly flat negs, but they can curl under varying humidity conditions and the film characteristics itself. Anyway I
will have to get the glass flattener, for some extremely curly old negs I really, really want to scan. Made some wet darkroom prints of 'em eons ago, so I know they're worth it.
