Black Shadows in my 35mm Photos?

I need help diagnosing a problem I have been having lately with my Nikon F3:

As you can see in the attached photo, an inconsistent black shadow has appeared in several of my exposures. I have ruled out the camera strap, and the shutter does not stick.
This happens without flash, across multiple lenses. The shadow sometimes appears curved, coming into the center of the frame only, or diagonal.

Help! I don't want to risk ruining more photos.

Any ideas? Black Shadows in my 35mm Photos - 1
