That's strange... I don't think I've ever seen this.  Does this happen
in all speeds or just the slow ones?  How does the shutter sound in
1 sec?  Did you get dust or sand inside the camera?  You can remove
the front (lens') plate and check the shutter.  Blow any dust
away.  You can try and spray various solvents on the shutter.  If
nothing helps, it is time to call Ron Zakowski.
