I recently aquired this camera and right out from the start found that the every time I pressed the shutter release the mirror jams - in that it stays up the top of the chamber (forgive my lack of wording - I'm not particularly SLR savvy) but can wobble up and down so it's not completely stuck upward, it just won't move back down... I can get it to go down again by manually moving it down but once again, pushing the shutter release makes it stuck again. Anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it? Drop me an email. Much appreciated!
