Shutter curtain damage? I bought my husband a Nikon F6. He has only taken five shots so far, and yet has noticed a curvilinear scratch on the shutter curtain on the right hand side near a small lever. It looks like a wear mark; but I am very surprised it already has a groove from just 5 shots. Should I send the camera back to Nikon? Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi Mary, Sorry your husband's camera shutter has a scratch. No one can give a definitive answer without examining the camera. I advise taking it to a camera shop. Hopefully some experienced person can take a look. That being said, a curvilinear scratch (love that word) can only be caused by a misalignment or foreign object producing abrasion and that translates to resistance. A focal plane shutter operates much like the escape mechanism of a clock. The accuracy of the shutter speed is now suspect as a scratch translates to unforeseen friction. If it were my new camera I would send it back to Nikon for evaluation. Alan Marcus
