Grrr.
I've now got a very similar problem with my ME, super;

1 mirror is slow to lift (shutter then fires ok)
2 this happens on both mechanical and electrical shutter
3 it seems to be a lot worse when the camera has sat for a while-if you fire a lot in quick succession it seems to sort itself out

I've opened up the bottom but it's a different lay out to the kx (with it being electrical) so I'm not sure where to start.

Any guesses guys and girls?

Convince me....

In what ways will I enjoy the whole experience of owning and using this as much as my ME Super, Kx and spotmatic?

I want to be convinced!

There is no logical supportable reason for feeling like this, but I just can't help myself from feeling like if I am shooting film I should be shooting MF only

I can't shift it from my head!

Take a unique series with a clear style

Find a local stylish cafe or similar and ask them to put them on the wall framed as marked for sale.

Plenty of hipster places near me do this. They get something on the wall, you might find somebody who likes your style.

No website or sales pitch really needed

Got mine new about April last year

Modest amount of use but doing very nicely for me so far.

Will say if that changes mind!

ME Super next - not quite as cosmetically great as I remembered! Still in more than tidy nick though.

Super A first

I've tried to include close ups of all the important bits, together with any cosmetic bits of wear and tear. Generally though it's in excellent condition.

This fix looks to have done the job

I was probably slightly guilty of not depressing the shutter button fully too, which was having an impact with things being slightly out of position

Thanks both

I'll stick some pictures up in the morning and then maybe we can PM to sort details

Cheers
