It wasn't there before and I suspect it might be a small burn. It doesn't go through the curtain (I can't see any light coming through) but I haven't verified this with film. I have a few questions I hope you can help me with: 1) If it is not a burn can you think of anything else it could cause a damage spot on the curtain? 2) If it is a burn, is it likely to deteriorate into a hole ? 3) The spot is grey and it reflects some light (it is not mat black as the rest curtain). Could it affect metering? 4) Should I replace the shutter curtain? What does it take to replace it? Is it a major repair or something that can be done easily and quickly ? Will a repair affect the rest of the camera in anyway (externally or otherwise)? Thank you, Stefanos. >> On my M6 classic , I have a small white spot right on the side of the white reflective spot . Maybe yours is just a small stain of paint like on mine . Jo GOODTIMES
