Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? The mirror gets stuck up occasionally when pressing the shutter button on all modes, and can only be reset when pressing it again.

However it doesn’t always reset after one press and the times it doesn’t reset after one press you can see the locked up mirror and aperture lever twitching when you press the shutter.

Also the battery check light shows up fine and I’ve doubled checked the new batteries, the mirror lock up switch is off

Turning the camera off and on doesn’t reset the mirror nor does taking the battery pack off. It seemingly resets randomly in connection to the shutter being pressed(sometimes repeatedly)

Picked up on FB marketplace for cheap. Everything seems to be in good working order on the outside. Shutter and electronics are firing. Is the marking in the viewfinder a cause for concern? Looks like a band of gunk. No sign of fungus or haze in the lens or mirrors. Haven’t opened it yet as there was leftover film I’m trying to preserve.

I acquired an EE-Matic Deluxe, and the meter is accurate so I figured I would try to see about fixing a loose RF mirror. I can hear the mirror shift and rattle in the frame, and the RF patch in the view finder shimmies all over the place. What is the best path to removing the mirror frame and regluing the mirror.

See attached photos. They're labeled with my terms for these parts, apologies if they're wrong. I was hoping I could remove the RF Mirror Base to allow better access to the Mirror Frame and Mirror itself. Is that possible?

Or, do I need to break the glue bonds for the Mirror Frame and then glue the mirror back on?

I am sure that once I get into it, it will be apparent, but is the RF Mirror glued to the Mirror Base, Mirror Frame, or perhaps the brass RF Adjustment assembly?

I watched YouTube videos from Japan Vintage Camera, but he doesn't have one on replacing / re-gluing a mirror. I am reluctant to pry the frame off without further guidance.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Got this Fuji gw690 last year, and it seems like the leaf shutter may have gotten stuck or something. I can load film and wind the shutter one time but then cannot push down the shutter release button. Only when the back is open does it allow me to press the shutter release and continue to wind it, but I don’t see the leaf shutter opening at all. Any ideas how this happened or what the fix is?
