My hasselblad 2003fcw recently has a annoying issue:
Its mirror some time lock up and does not fall down after fires. However, I put it into the mode which let the mirror fall immediately. Sometimes it will fall down after I advanced, but in most cases I have to take the focus screen away and advance with pushing the mirror.

Have any one meet this issue? I guess it can happen on other 2000 model.
Is that possible that I fix it by myself?

Welcome to Photrio. I am knowledgeable about the V Series but not the 200 Series and the 2000 Series. I would suspect that there is dirt and debris build up that needs to be removed and appropriate lubrication. I would suggest getting a CLA [Clear, Lubrication & Adjustment] be done by a Hasselblad repair man, but it has gotten hard to find anyone who will work on the 200 Series and the 2000 Series. Hopefully someone in the UK can recommend repair people in your area.

Thanks a lot, I have already found a repair man in London. I think it will be fine after service.
