Film Nikon F4

[phigmov]

Not bad but I think mine might be a little faulty, I got a line/dark-band through some shots, maybe a sticky shutter?
Nice camera to have to demonstrate the evolution of camera design but I think I'll leave mine on the shelf. My F100 is definitely the better general use AF film Nikon in all regards.

These are shot with Agfa Vista 200 - I'll start a show-case thread for that in a moment... its a real shame they discontinued it.

The shutter is made by Copal and when it came out, it was the most complex shutter ever made (and still is together with the F5).
The reason for it is that, actually it is two shutters, not one. There are 2 shutters, one behind the other and they have a mechanism that synchronise them so that they open and close together.
My lucky guess is that this part of the mechanism needs service.
