Hello everyone,

I kind of forced too much on the shutter of my beloved black OM1 trying to adapt a DIY softy on it (Lame). I pressed way to much on the shutter till I heard tragic "click" into it. Now the shutter is "loose", i cannot shoot anymore and no way to advance film (certainly because film is loaded in fact), and I cant Stick the rewind mechanism to the "rewind" position.

I guess it will be repairable (I HOPE) as the OM is a mechanical camera but I feel really angry and dumb being that rude with it. Anyone optimistic about repairing it? Maybe i'll have to get a piece from another OM?

Thanks in advance everyone,
