The last 2 rolls I took with this camera came out nearly useless.
1/1000s does not work anymore and between 1/125s and 1/500s the exposure is very uneven and/or underexposed?
Might this be a problem due temperature fall off? Or is it a another common problem?


The left side came out completly blank and was automatically cropped by the annoying Epson Scan Software.

Yes, look up 'shutter capping'. Often when a shutter needs CLA it starts doing this, at the higher speeds and in cold weather.

Thanks! But what is the meaning of "CLA"?

The good thing is that I've just noticed that I have guarentee on this camea Smile

C-L-A means CLEAN-LUBE-ADJUSTMENT

I had a slight (about 3-4mm into the negative) capping at around -1C. It most likely is that.
