Chuck,
I was only speculating on the shutter mechanism. It has always worked, so I
have had no reason to delve into it. I have never observed any exposure
variation, though many of my shots were family gatherings shot with a Braun
Hobby flash, so there was always some exposure variation due to distance
from the flash.
I will see if I can find a shot that might be worth examining.
