This sounds to me like the first shutter curtain is a bit sluggish at the end of its travel.  I have seen cameras
where this is obvious when looking into the camera (lens removed).  The first curtain "hessitates" at the
end of its travel.  Your problem does not sound severe enough to be seen easily.  Solution CLA.
