Bought it a year ago, it worked like a charm for a few rolls, and then I started to get overexposed/underexposed photos sometimes, but the real problem is the photos with black stretches on the edges of the frame. Usually it's the first photo of the session, or first 2-3 photos and almost never after that.
I need to notice, before that the advance lever stuck once and shutter didn't fire (I changed the batteries and after a while it started to work).
I might try to bring it to service, but the thing is I bought it just after it was CLA'd.

It has been over a year since it was serviced.?
It is not unreasonable, in that time frame, for a new problem to arise.
These cameras are old and all bets are off.
One might work flawlessly while another body might have a succession of 2-3-4 problems before the camera will be reliable.

I want to shoot film in old 35mm SLR.
So i send my cameras for service until they are right.
For some that is one time........others need more.
