So I probably already know the answer to this, but wanted to get some opinions on the shutter of my 1DX Mark II.
Both images taken at ISO 100, 1/8000 sec,with no lens, aimed an empty sky at 14 FPS.
Shutter count for the camera is about 169,000 clicks in the year I've had it, which makes me somewhat disappointed that this came up so quickly.
An interesting note to this, the shading on the bottom of the first frame only ever occurs at the first photo in a burst and the rest all look like the second frame consistently until a new burst starts. It's only even noticeable above 1/4000 sec, and below that is really a non-issue.
I realized this has been happening since at least June of this year if not before, but I didn't think much of it until today I was shooting some wide-aperture portraits in broad daylight and it really stood out to me.
Is this a sign of shutter failure approaching, or just a laggy shutter? I just had to send my 5D Mark III in to Canon after the focus joystick broke, so I'm not really in the mood to send another camera in, and I don't really use 1/8000th of a second enough to be too bothered by it right now, but if it's likely to put my 1DX out of service randomly, I'd rather have it out of service on my own time than in the middle of a job.
