I first loaded it with film less than 2 months ago. I took my first picture, and then, about half an hour later, I started to take another picture. I realized that I couldn't see out. Looking down the lens, I could see that the shutter was still open. I unloaded it, and managed to close the shutter, but the mirror is stuck in the up position. It will cock and release, and works just fine, except for the fact that I can't see what I'm taking a picture of. You can also pull down the mirror, but it springs right back up. It worked perfectly when I bought it. I've tried everything short of taking it apart. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
