I am still not absolutely sure that this fix will be permanent but right now I am feeling more than a bit chuffed! Thanks for your suggestion. I shall give an update in a week or so to let you know if the "fix" is till good.

Sounds like 'Slipping Mirror Syndrome' that Contax RTS models sometimes have -- luckily NOT MINE SO FAR ! There is some sticky stuff fixing the mirror onto the mirror holder which softens in heat and allows the mirror to slip down a bit. Maybe the case with YOURS.

After fixing the problem (see below) I thought quite a bit about what could have caused this and I really think my hunch is correct. Namely, in my enthusiasm as the new owner I cleaned the mirror, usining first a blower brush and then wiping the mirror surface with a tissue. I think the pressure that I applied during the cleaning could well have slightly deformed the mirror mechanism. Certainly my remedy, of applying a quite gentle "inwards" pressure with my thumbnail, seems to have worked well. I have had no further problems.
