Noticed a huge difference after swapping the shutter curtains on a Nikon F2 from 1975 - before vs after

You're talking about swapping curtains on an F2 like it's some kind of upgrade. Those old cloth curtains from 1975 have a specific look and feel that you're killing by putting in modern replacements. The slight light leaks and uneven wear are part of the camera's character. You just sanitized a classic piece of history for a marginal improvement in light tightness.

Yeah just throw some gaffer tape over the edges and call it a day, way easier than swapping curtains.
