damage the message board.

I'm referring your question to an expert, Dave Marsh, owner of
Apex Photo-Technical Services in Amherst, New Hampshire. Dave is
the past president of NAPET which is the international trade
organization for camera repair technicians.

Hi Derek,
The Maxxumm 7000 can give the above symptoms for two reasons. The first curtain in the shutter can stick causing erratic blank exposures and or the aperture control magnet can stick and cause erratic under exposure (f22 regardless of setting). If you'd like an estimate to repair the camera, please contact us directly.
Sincerely,
Dave Marsh
