Canon TLb with 50mm prime. The mirror hangs up after firing every shot. Loosening the lens collar or giving the body a rap on the bottom drop it back into place. Good way to stop the binding?

Thanks, I've got some naphtha on the workbench so will try that in the morning.

E: Some schmutz had pooled at the bottom edge of the mirror in two spots. I had previously run my finger along that edge to feel for protrusions but they weren't noticeable. Only caught them in light at the correct angle after noticing a brushed arc on the back of the lens. Removed the two bits of pooled and hardened whatever and the camera is running properly, now. Thanks again, goon.
