Hi Everyone -

Just found this old thread on a Google search, and it sounds like a problem I've been having with a Zorki 1. On inspection, what seems to be happening is that there is a tiny gap between the shutter curtains when I start to advance the film.

As the winding continues, the gap closes up, and the shutter works fine during the exposure.

But the problem seems to be that, when I advance with the lens cap off, there is a tiny strip of film that is exposed to light, and it creates a problem like the one Jon describes.

Anyone else ever run into this? Or know of a solution?

Tom
