Hi everyone,
My Yashica-A TLR has a very strange shutter fault, and I'm hoping someone wiser than me will have an idea what's going on because it has left me puzzled.
Most of the time the camera functions well, but occasionally, when the shutter is set to 1/300, images come out looking really shaky and ghostly:
It looks like this problem is caused by some kind of unwanted vibration, but I'm struggling to figure out what might be going on mechanically to cause this. This is an intermittent problem and approx. 90% of my images shot at this shutter speed come out fine, which only makes things more confusing. Any thoughts on what's going on here would be appreciated! This camera has the standard 4 speed ring-set Copal shutter.
It's my first time posting here, so apologies if this is an issue that has come up before. Hopefully there's a fix for it.
