I have been having a strange problem with my OM-4 Ti for some months.

In some pictures, the left side (or the bottom side for vertical 
shots) is dark. This affects about 10-15 % of the picture field. The 
limit between the dark and the unaffected part is gradual, blurred 
(as in a graduated filter).

The occurrence of this phenomenon appears to be random. In some 
rolls, not a single photo is affected, while in others, up to half of 
them are touched. It seems to appear more frequently with the 
180/2.8, but with other lenses it does occur as well (e.g. the 
35-105). The "unaffected" part of the picture can be normally 
exposed, or sometimes slightly underexposed.

BTW, this happens even with new (357) batteries ;-)

What could be the cause of this annoying behaviour ?

Bernard
