Hi Jim,

I process my films on a professional LAB, the last frame was probably at
1/200, when I have the camera "sleeping" for a while, I have sometimes
problems at 1/200, a shutter failure; but IMO this can't affect the problem
of the bands...

Thanks for your help
Luis

Luis,

Since the Leica shutter travels horizontally, it is difficult for me to
accept that the banding is caused by a camera problem.  The last frame is an
extreme example of what I have seen as a shutter adjustment problem at 1/500
and 1/1000 of a second.  Do you process the film yourself?
