New here! Question on shadow showing up in photos. Nikon FM2

Hi fellas, I've been getting back into film the past few months. Shot about 20 rolls so far.

Weird issue with my Nikon FM2. As seen in the photos, I have a weird semi circle shadow in the middle of the frame. It really onky shows up when I have alot of light in the shot, so i must be either stopped down or at a high shutter speed. Exposures where light is low dont seem to have any shadow.

Anybody have any ideas as to what I should check in the camera? the interior looks clean, no hairs and as far as I can tell the shutter curtain looks good.

Thank you for looking!
Ben

Have you checked the shutter blades and/or the pressure plate on the back of the camera?

Yes, to the naked eye nothing looks out of place. Called some repair shops and they seemed to think its the shutter curtain gone bad. Already shipped it off for replacement and overhaul!

That's probably best! Let us know how it goes
