<p>I recently bought a Canon AE-1 from Craig's List and I was having trouble at first with shutter speeds and aperture, so the first few rolls I took barely came out, but the photos that did (like half of the roll) were amazing. Eventually, the pictures stopped coming out at all. I took the camera to a photo store and they looked at it and said that my shutter wasn't working for speeds over 1/60. They said that I needed to replace the mirror, but I didn't want to pay $150 for a camera that's only worth $50.<br>
I spent the next roll just taking photos under 1/60 shutter speeds and none of the photos came out.<br>
I'm wondering if anyone can offer me any advice or give me any tips so I could see what the problem is with my Canon AE-1.</p>
