Curtain string problem
As the shutter brake tries to stop the second curtain, the top string goes
loose and hangs into the picture. Sometimes you can see it by placing
tissue paper over the film plain and firing at 1/60 (with a T32 reflecting
through on low setting). The flash may illuminate it just right. Camera
needs a brake job.
