shutter capping- does it look like this?

[mooge]

hi guys,

another question for y'all- does shutter capping go from left to right or right to left on the print? the lens reverses the image, so i'm confused.

this is what I'm talking about.

I know my shutter had some capping issues. but I fixed that. but it's still there, just a touch, in some of my newer negs (not scanned yet). and that mysterious dark line is also still there. but that is a dev problem I think.

the crazy thing is- I put a roll of E6 through my M2 a while back. ZERO problems.

the cursed M2 is back
or maybe I need to clean my dev tank better:bang:

cheers.

Is this happening on all your photos? What shutter speed are you using? When was the last time it had a CLA?

Sure look like capping, which is where one shutter curtain overtakes the other. Most common at the higher shutter speeds, like 1/500 and 1/1000. Pretty easy to fix on most cameras.

would this be the shutter starting closed, then opening up or the shutter starting open, then closing? I've seen other pics with the right hand side black. which makes sense... because the image is flipped, yeah?

so:
right side black = 2nd curtain faster
left side black = 1st curtain faster

am I right? kinda?

thanks guys.
