[OM] Help! Camera or lens

One combination of camera and lens has developed a problem.

Symptom: Pushing the shutter results in sort of a thud and the camera
jams before firing the shutter. New batteries were the first thought;
still thud. Pushing the lens release and twisting the lens slightly
towards off fires the shutter. Further playing around shows if the lens
is mounted normally and then twisted back towards off (without lens
release) much more likely to fire successfully. Smaller apertures seem
to be more likely to jam.

Same body with several other lenses no problem. Same lens several other
bodies no problem.

Is this a problem with the camera, the lens or just an example of the
corollary to Murphy's law about tolerances?

Which one goes to the shop?

Thanks in advance

Bill Biesele
