Hello
I just bought this Nikon FE on ebay and im having this issue where it self fires every other shot or when I cock the shutter slowly the shutter will jam and I will have to change mode to unjam the shutter.
when i dont have a lens attached the shutter works normally
Any help is highly appreciated

also Ive only tested it on M90 mode because I dont have batteries just yet

edit: put some batteries in tried to shoot and now the mirror is stuck at the top and it wont fire or let me cock the shutter

Was the camera listed as Working or needing repair? If it was listed as working return it.
The FE is plentiful on https://shopgoodwill.com/home and likely less than ebay.
There are currently 2 up for bids

Ended up getting a refund of 50% of the amount I paid and I get to keep both the camera and the lens which is in good condition (35mm f2.8)
