I really don't think this is a shutter problem. I am inclined to
think it is an unfortunate function of the design of the TTL
system which allows it to react so well to rapidly changing
light conditions.
I think the term is "tanstaafl" or some such.
I am certainly not disgusted by the fact that the camera isn't
quite right beyond the extreme end of it's original design
parameter.
