Hi All
New member but long time Nikon user.
I recently bought a Nikomat FT2 from a Japanese seller.
Body is in pristine condition, but having an issue with the shutter. As fas as I can determine, the shutter opens and closes correctly and the speeds seem correct. Problem is when I activate the shutter, the mirror flips up but does not return when the shutter closes. I can get the mirror down by sticking a finger in and gently pressing down on the levers in front of the shutter curtain (not recommended obviously, but it works!)
For the price I paid, it's not worth returning it, but I would like to get it sorted if possible as a backup for my FM3A.
Anyone have any ideas as to a possible fix?
Regards
Tim
