That was exactly the problem! The focusing screen came off and was jammed
against the mirror. I can't imagine how it happened since I changed the
screen over 6 months ago. I fixed the problem, but scratched the focusing
screen, a 2-13. It is still functional, but I could use a new one. If
anyone has an extra, please let me know. Donald, thanks for pointing me in
the right direction.

Have you changed a focussing screen lately? Maybe it slipped off and is
locking up the camera. There is some advice about this in the recent past.
