Minolta X-300 mirror i have just bought a minolta x300 off ebay. when I dry fired it a few times it worked brilliantly but as I came to load a film it went off and the mirror now refuses to stay down. the batteries are working as I can get the light meter up momentarily by pulling the mirror down by hand but otherwise it wont do anything. any suggestions (a camera shop quoted me £76 to repair it when I paid £40 for it to begin with...)

James, I really hate to say this, but, welcome to the wonderful world of manual photography. If my X700 wasn't so near and dear to my heart, I wouldn't have spent $115 on it when a new one runs about $130 on ebay. Have fun and keep shooting, BTW, it sounds like the return spring went.

Sorry about your camera. I know nothing about this model but; try this, you have nothing to lose. Many electronic malfunctions are self limiting. Best of luck, Alan Marcus
