Unless the mirror is severely damaged the camera should be usable as-is -- a
few scratches won't hurt the image. If the mirror has been bent out of
alignment, that's another story. Check finder focus with a known-good lens
on the body pointed at something quite far away.
Figure a major overhaul price to replace the mirror. Good used parts are
common, but the body has to be disassembled.
