My Contax 137MA's mirror hits the back of lenses. About 2/3 of the time, after I take a picture with it, the mirror sticks up and only unjams if I shake the camera or attempt to remove the lens. The same lenses work in my 139Q perfectly fine, so they are not at fault. I examined the mirror, and it sticks out about a millimeter or two too far out of its frame. I got this from family, and I don't know if the condition developed or was a manufacturing defect. The following is how the mirror protrudes. The implement holding the mirror up is a kebab skewer.  To compare, the following is my 139, which works correctly.  How can I fix it? |
