I just got an old Minolta XD-11 and I was super excited about giving it a try. But, after putting a lens on and looking through the viewfinder, I noticed a loose spring moving around my field of vision. The shutter stopped closing after release once the spring became loose. I'm planning on taking it to a local repair shop, but I was also wondering whether anyone else has had this experience and might know what's wrong. Thanks!
