I was trying to clean my camera today. I was using a dust blower. By mistake I hit the mirror lightly. Could I have done someting bad, or you think is ok?
Please advise.
Thanks

I think it should be alright, as long you didn't observe any damage to the
mirror. Crank the advance and release the shutter a few times to make
sure everything is intact. Remember the SRT's are damn near indestructible !

Should be alright. A lot of those cameras back then were quite hardy!

Fixed a sticky hutter on mine a few months back by (last resort) whacking it on the floor. It'll be fine as long as it is not cracked and you can see your subject fine.
