I also purchased an FX-3 with a 50mm f/2 ML lens that had just gotten a little wet in the rain (I was at an outdoor arts and crafts festival that features many 'antique' vendors) and was missing most of the material covering the body for $20. The FX-2 also came with a Soligor MK-9A flash and the FX-3 came with a Yashica CS-201 flash and a Gossen Lunasix 3 meter. After getting my goodies home, I discovered that the issue with the FX-2 only occurs at the 1/60 shutter speed and it is the mirror that seems to be the problem. The mirror goes up and stays up on the first shot and does not come down until the next shot is taken. Overall I'm delighted with my purchases, and would appreciate any advice on the mirror issue with the FX-2.
