I've owned a Minolta Zoom 110 Mk1 since about 1980, but stopped using it in the very late 80s when a shutter problem developed. On A or B settings, there appears to be something between the lens and shutter. I've attached a photo taken today to give an idea.

Has anyone come across this, and can you help me figure out how to fix it? I'm curious about the new Lomography films in this format, especially the Orca B&W film. Otherwise the camera seems to be functioning perfectly, the shutter timer works, the lights in the viewfinder are fine, etc. No fungus anywhere.

Giving this a bump as I've got a bit more info. I believe it may be the mirror which is returning after a fraction of a second no matter how long the shutter is open.

Any thoughts on how to fix this? I'd really like to use this camera again now that Lomography have Tiger and Metropolis film in the format.
