Warren,
I think you're on to something. at a slow shutter speed with an open
aperature, the shutter opens fully. However, at slightly faster speeds, it
seems like one of the leafs might be a bit sluggish. The light patern is a
diamond shape, elongated toward the left side of the camera. hard to say for
sure.. I guess it would be worth getting it checked out, since I only payed
$7.50 for it.
thanks for you help Warren and Chuck,
Charles
