TPF Noob!
Hi,
I recently bought a Nikon FM and I am using it with a pre-AI Nikkor-H 50 mm f/2 lens. I shot a test roll of Fuji Superia 800, and had the film developed and printed at a local commercial place. I have uploaded the digital positives here:

Apart from the blur from not using a tripod (not a problem), there is another more concerning problem. On every 3-4th photo, there is an area of overexposure on the right half of the frame, with a substantial bright strip that runs vertically. This is also present on the negatives, and the overexposure seems to extend beyond the frame.
The best picture to see this on is:

What is going on here? Could this be a problem with the shutter? The FM's shutter runs vertically, so I don't see how it could be due to a lagging shutter. Given that many of these issues are pattern recognition things, can someone let me know if they see something obvious that's going on?
In the mean time, I will shoot another roll and see what happens.
Thanks.
