I have a Canon Ex ee that seems to have a shutter timing problem. Set at speeds B-250 the shutter seems to time nicely, but at 1/500th it looks like it is dragging. When firing the shutter with the back of the camera open at this speed, it appears that the shutter covers the open lens halfway (rather than fully opening as it does at other speeds).

Does this issue simpy require lubrication, or is it more related to the synchronization with the camera's mirror? If it does require lubrication, where should it be applied?

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can supply.

hello, i think i've the same problem: on film, there's an horizontal black band, like it's too slow or it don't open enought times. I don't know what's the problem, and i'll be fine to know...

Thanks,
Baecke Y.
