I think that camera needs work.

Subject: [OM] OM1 shutter problem
| My OM1 has recently developed an odd problem. On some shots
| (but not all) the shutter seems to fire but then sticks halfway, with
| the mirror locked up. When I then wind on to the next frame
| (manually, no power winder or m/drive) the shutter completes its
| motion and the mirror drops back down. On these occasions the
| photographs show that the exposure is actually taken at when the
| film is wound on, and not when the shutter release is depressed.
| The exposure on these frames is fine - but the subject matter
| depends where the camera was pointing when the film was wound
| on!
|
| Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
