I think that camera needs work.

Subject: [OM] OM1 shutter problem


| My OM1 has recently developed an odd problem. On some shots 
| (but not all)  the shutter seems to fire but then sticks halfway, with 
| the mirror locked up. When I then wind on to the next frame 
| (manually, no power winder or m/drive) the shutter completes its 
| motion and the mirror drops back down. On these occasions the 
| photographs show that the exposure is actually taken at when the 
| film is wound on, and not when the shutter release is depressed. 
| The exposure on these frames is fine - but the subject matter 
| depends where the camera was pointing when the film was wound 
| on!
| 
| Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
