Hi all,
i am having trouble with the above camera. After taking several shots off a new film the mirror inside the camera stays open, but the shutter is closed. I can pull the mirror down but it just springs back up. Also i cannot release the shutter again, and i cant wind the film on further. It just feels like the camera is in a jammed state, yet the mirror is free to move. The only way i have found to remedy this is to open the camera back, this returns it to a working state, however this ruins the film and resets the counter. The camera then "jamms" after a random number of shots on the new film, or even without film loaded. I beleve this is a symptom of flat batteries, hence i have replaced them on 2-3 occaisions.
Any reasons for this problem?? Solutions??
I really want to fix this problem as i have found this camera to be excelent and dont want to have to buy a new one.

Thanks
