<p>My comments here are based on the assumption that the first photograph shown is in a "landscape" format (width greater than height) and the last two are in "portrait" format (height greater than width). If this isn't the case, then ignore what follows below.<br> If I am correct in this, then it seems that the stripes are always parallel to the direction of film travel. The shutter travel was 90 degrees different between the first and two subsequent photographs, yet the stripes are parallel to the direction of film motion.<br> If one accepts my argument, then dispense with notions of shutter misbehavior. The problem lies either in the camera pressure plate/film transport mechanism or mishandling by the film processor.<br> My own, at times unhappy experience, suggests film processor errors. I suggest that you shoot a roll, get it off to a known-to-be competent processor (Dwaynes is a good choice) and see if the problems persists.<br> These days, one wonders if local processors do any equipment maintenance, or indeed still have anyone who is able to perform the maintenance.</p>
