Hello everyone,

I bought a used 35 Minolta XGM and noticed that the shutter curtain sometimes open half causing my photos to become half black. This occurs about once every 5 shutter click.

Any ways to fix this problem?

I called a camera store and they want to charge me 120 bucks for it.

It needs a CLA. $120 is cheap for a full CLA, about par for just the shutter.

Cheaper to buy a replacement.

You could also ask in some camera repair forums/groups ... I have not dealt with your camera so I don't have any specific fix for you.
