I have an Olympus 35 SP with a strange issue I haven't been able to find any info on. It has some sort of unsharpness that looks like motion blur, but it appears even at the fastest shutter speed of 1/500.
It has the same 'J' shape each time, so I don't think it's actual hand shake. It's also the same over the whole frame so it's not a lens aberration either. The only thing I could think of is the shutter causing some sort of recoil in the lens elements, or maybe it's bouncing open at the end of the exposure?
This is a crappy picture but it illustrates the typical appearance of the problem.
I just had the shutter overhauled (due to it sticking at slow speeds), and it exhibited this both before and after. Anyone with this (or any leaf shutter camera) that's had a similar problem?
