I just received a Yashica SLR TL- Super from Ebay. It is in excellent condition except the mirror hangs up (sticks) on every other shot at all speeds except 1/1000. I would appreciate any help or advice you can give. Thanks, William

On many cameras, the mirror is released by the second shutter curtain closing. If the curtain does not close completely, the mirror stays up. This is usually a sign that the camera needs to have the old lubricant flushed out, and be re-lubricated.
