I was shooting with 4 travelight strobes in the studio.
camera on manual adapter with the manual adapter
set to 1/60 sync.
When I opened the camera. after getting the pics from the
photo place the left curtain was stuck out about 1/2"
once I played with it a bit It seemed to function fine, but after
firing the shutter about 40 or 50 times it will get stuck again
about 1/8"  about once every 15 or 20 times I fire the shutter.
I have used the same camera in the same studio with the same
strobe setup to shoot about 12 other rolls without any trouble
except the before mentioned
