Shutter Problem
This photo shot with my 1960's vintage Zenza Bronica S2A on Ilford film. Photo taken at Fish Lake in the mountains above Whitehorse, Southern Yukon.
Unfortunately, unbenownst to me, the old Bronica camera was suffering from a shutter problem. I got two perfect photos from the roll of 12 then each succeeding image had more and more of the frame cut off at the top. This image is the last of the useable frames, but it is one of only four that are. Every other image was ruined. The following roll was even worse, and then the camera locked up completely.
If any one out there has experience with this sort of issue on the S2/S2A, perhaps you could offer some suggestions in the comments, below? It really is a shame because, as you can see, this camera is capable of taking some striking images, and other than the shutter issue, it's a beautiful unit in mint condition.
