Hi Pentax world,

I've just bought a 67 body on t'internet, when it arrived i was desperate to hear it in action so downloaded a manual. Followed the instructions:- 1) open back.......2) turned the exposure indicator dial to show 1 or more........3) shut the back and then went on to wind on the film advance lever and tried all the different shutter speeds.

Very thrilling hearing all the clunks with that huge mirror banging up and down. Then I tried the mirror lock up slider, wow this is all so good I can't wait till my lens arrives then a pentaprism !!!!

Then it all went horribly wrong, the mirror stuck up, and stayed up, and stayed up and is still up. I've bought 2 new batteries,they haven't helped. The lens arrived that didn't help.

I am so worried I've broken my dream camera .....boo hoo!! can anyone help? Please......

Pete
