I know that mirror problems are everywhere on these boards, so one would think that it would be relatively easy to find a solution already posted. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any threads that address the specific problem that I am facing.
I have a Nikon FM2, and the problem is that the mirror keeps getting locked in the up position. It will stay in that position until the shutter is release again, and the camera keeps going back and forth like this (between the mirror being locked up and the mirror in its appropriate position). Strangely enough, this only happens with one lens (Nikon 50mm f/1.8 Series E). The mirror seems to work just fine when I'm using a different lens (Nikkor 80-200mm f/4.5). Also, this camera is a replacement for my previous FM2, and both those lenses have been used on the older camera body for years with no problems whatsoever.
Has anybody seen/heard of something like this happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
