David,
I believe I fixed my problem with the mirror. I applied minute amount of fine oil to the bearings of the shutter drum and the shutter curtain spindles. Shutter works like a charm, with the mirror coming down at all speeds.
If your problem is the same as mine, remove the base plate and remove the printed board that is under it. I don't know if the ES is identical to the ESII, but my board was held by three screws and plugged into a multi connector. Very easy to remove. Once removed, you will have access to the shutter bearings.
This is definitely not a professional fix, since there is another set of bearings accessible from the top, but it fixed the problem.
Whatever you do, do not tamper with the mirror arrester in the mirror chamber - it serves a different purpose.
Good luck,
Jan |
