I've just purchased a Nikkormat EL which seems to work more or less fine in Auto mode (the meter responds, though I still haven't tested its accuracy) but whose shutter behaves erratically when in manual mode. Speeds 1/1000-1/125 seem to work (at least the shutter fires), but any attempt to work with lower speeds (1/60, 1/30, etc.) leaves the shutter open and the mirror raised. The shutter closes and the mirror comes back down when I push the meter/action lever towards the body of the camera (basically if I turn it off).

Any idea?

Thanks

Marco
