Hi
I have a Minolta X-570 that I love. Problem is that the shutter is going bad. Just developed some film, and noticed that one of the curtains was dragging. Sure enough, I just checked, and at 1/1000, the shutter doesnt open up all the way. At 500 and below, it works fine. The sad thing is that this is the SECOND time this happens to the camera. It already had been sent out to get taken care off about 3 or 4 months ago, but it is starting up again. Are these cameras known for shutter problems? And I am pretty sure it isn't the dreaded capacitor problem.
Mostly wanna know if i need to toss it and get a new one, or if there is hope for it...
