damaged blades
º
My last bulk loaded roll came off the spindle and the gaff tape I'd used - kindly stuck/dragged itself across the shutter blades during frame advance so now the blades are seriously dented.
For whatever reason they still function at fast and low shutter speeds {1/1000th left - 1/30th right} - though for how long I don't know :-(
So I've got to hand it to Nikon engineers/technical skills/quality control - this camera takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'.
Unfortunately the body has quite a few cracks that I've taped up over the years and it just generally looks rough and very well used. 2021 is my 30th anniversary with it [from store bought/brand new] and up to this point it's never failed!
Maybe it's time for a CLA+shutter blade replacement!! After shooting the inside of it I'm embarrassed how dusty and dirty it is.
