Hi Forum,

my old T60 Canon (i know, it's a CT1 Cosina into disguise...) does have issues. 1st i can't detach the lens anymore after soo many years - even i press the metal button, it quite often stays into place,
doesn't come out. Only after some time...weird, and the lens cannot being detached from my T60 again, it's the cheap kitlens, the Canon FD 35-70/3.5-4.5 zoom.

I put just fresh batteries inside, lightmeter works perfectly, it seems to me...then the shutterspeed incl. bulb is working fine up to 1/1000sec, but when i do hit an exposure via shutter,
the mirror flips up - and stays up...doesn't come back...it's only surprisingly after some 10, 20 or 30 mins, the mirror comes down again...what is causing that particular issue with the T60?

I'd like to use it again, it's my cheap 35mm SLR for not safe place, for instance.

Thanks
