Ever try just a tiny bit of oil spray after the butter? Works for me every time.

Yeah @perez.thea, that damp air is sneaky. Makes you wonder about the glue they use on the cheaper stuff.

Actually, the AE-1 shutter curtain is cloth, not titanium. The titanium foil was used in the Canon F-1, the pro model from that time. It's a common mix-up because they're from the same era. The AE-1's manual might mention titanium in a different section, like the body frame. Still cool to find those old details in the paperwork though.

But that's how you end up with a garage in your neighbor's yard.

That's amazing. Got offered a "free lawn mowing" IOU once from a neighbor instead of cash.
