(Above: My MZ-30 with my FA 43 Limited)
The week before, when I tried to use my MZ-30 for shooting film, the light meter first went nuts and then the mirror locked up after pressing the shutter and it did never come down again anymore no matter how!
I used nearly new Panasonic CR2 lithium batteries and its expiry date is in 2020, which worked completely flawlessly when they were put into my MZ-S. Really too bad.. :-(
And, my SFX did die twice like that, for exactly with the same symptom and for what happened. What an unfortunate "coincidence"! >_<
Btw, can anyone tell me that what has been going wrong with this "mirror locked up" issue? :-o

It's probably too high for the specifications, CR batteries are now 1.5V, in that time they were 1.35V.
Common rookie mistake.

I just "buried" my old Joe Oly 2100UZ what went crazy and died when I loaded it, after a year or so, with recharged batteries and wanted to give it to a friend. I guess it couldn't handle the prospect of a new home.. :o)
