    Pentax ME Super Shutter Closed, Crank Wont Advance
    I just bought a Pentax ME Super from ebay and I'm having a little trouble with it. When I first got it everything seemed fine with it. I could look through the view finder but the batteries were dead so there wasn't any LED's lit up. It didn't have any film in it but I wanted to test it so I advanced the crank and pressed down the shutter but after I did that the shutter stayed closed (I can no longer see through the viewfinder) and the crank wont advance. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Also I replaced the batteries and the LED's come on but it didnt fix anything.

    This isn't the shutter - it's probably the mirror that didn't come back down. It would probably take some fiddling with, but there should be an easy fix for that. If you have a good independent local camera store, try them to see if they might know. If that doesn't work try sending a message to the seller, maybe it's happened before to them.
