A friend of mine just asked me about his Nikon F, which has a wrinkled shutter curtain. I looked at it out of curiosity--I've heard this phenomenon talked about before, but never actually seen one.
Does a wrinkled shutter affect the camera's operation? I went through the shutter speeds; they sound fine at least, and there appears to be no light leakage.
With that being the case, is this thing considered "parts", or can this be actually used to shoot photos? My sense of it is that if the shutter is light-tight, it doesn't matter.
So to anybody who has owned a SLR with a 'wrinkled' shutter: What, if anything, should be done about it?
Thanks for reading this,

The shutter curtains of a Nikon F are made of titanium, which is quite hard to damage. However accidental pressure may wrinkle or crease them as you describe. In fact my Nikon F has wrinkled curtains like this! It will not effect the operation of the camera unless there has been enough force to dislodge the curtains from their grooves.
