Anyone else have that happen to them? Rad Yep, that happened to me plenty of times. I think it's the reason my mom stopped using that camera when I was a kid. That and using a flash with a fixed sync speed of 1/60 but accidentally setting the camera to 1/30... not sure if anyone's ever done that but it leaves about a third of the picture really dark. I know for a fact the Pentax K1000 shutter moves vertically ** 365 Project **

The shutter being slower than max synch speed is never an issue!!! The problem is if you set 1/125 on the shutter. You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!

I am talking a spring actuated shutter, with a lever on the lens that you would pull down which would put tension on a spring, which would power the mechanism to open and close the shutter when you pressed the button. I think that the AE-1 was past that. I am talking about an Argus. Circa 1940. Rad
