Hola Marco:
I think the shutter mechanism probably needs cleaning. The closing curtain is supposed to trip the mirror to return as it closes.... if the shutter curtain is sluggish, or if the mirror release is stiff, there may not be enough power in the shutter to return the mirror. Either of these would most likely be caused by dirt and dried lubricants in the mechanism. |

It could be that curtain tensions are weak--if the second is weak it can cause this and then, of course, the 1st needs to be adjusted so they are balanced. |

Hola, Marco.
You need only one small drop of oil...aceite. This is a common problem, and I have prepared two images showing how to remedy it. Please e:mail me at [email protected]. I will send you the images. Si necesitas hablar en el Espanol, puedo hablarlo, pero no puedo hablarlo perfectamente...hablo "Tex-Mex". (I said "If you need to speak in Spanish, I can speak it, but not perfectly. I can speak "Tex-Mex".)
