A lot of the manual film cameras that proceeded the modern day DSLR have similar structures. A smaller film camera I recently acquired is the porst cr-1. Unfortunately, I encountered an unexpected malfunction during operation of it. When removing the camera lens, you will notice that the mirror is not in view.
What happened? Well, when advancing the film lever and clicking the shutter something got jammed. The mirror flipped up and the shutter screen got stuck partway.
I did open the bottom panel of the camera for initial investigation and found that the problem is beyond my current skill. Not to mention, I do not have all the proper tools to fix. Consequently, this little camera is going to the camera repair shop so the professionals can diagnose and hopefully repair.
This camera is out of commission for now. 😦
Should the camera shop not be able to repair this camera, I will use it has a research project to dissemble and learn.
