Good Deal! That MZ-50 probably needs a 10 minute repair, wish I could tell you via e-mail how to do it. There is a tiny gear on the mirror drive motor that slips, you push it back into place with a needle and then apply a minute drop of "Super Glue" to the shaft with the same needle. That's fixed 9 out of 10 of the ones I've seen with Shutter/Mirror/Motor problems. Of course I nearly ruined an MZ-5 by using TOO MUCH glue! Took an hour to get things to turn again. :-(
