Hey,

So I took off my 500cm back today and freaked out when I saw the rear curtain was bent/folded in the middle instead of flat! Fired the shutter and all good, they came back into place and after more actuations didn't go back into the bent orientation...

Is this a problem or a sign of a problem to come?

Thanks,

Dan

Either

It has been on the shelf too long.
Or
Lube is a bit waxy.

They do need maintenance and there may be foam that the mirror rests on when up...

Remove back and fire shutter 100 times if it does not fail again don't worry.
