Hi John
It's just the mirror, it seems. I've just tested it again without a lens and
I can see that the shutter seems to operate ok. But the mirror stays up. It
happens on either auto or manual. Taking the batteries out doesn't fix it or
make it move. And now the light meter display doesn't seem to work, either.
And the manual winder is jammed, which is something that hasn't happened
before now. Can this all be electronic?
Thanks for your interest,
Paul
