This morning the camera arrived. Immediately after having mounted a lens, the mirror hangs. I look inside, and the mirror is protruding about 2-3 centimeters from the plastic shell. I think that previous owner has replaced the mirror with one that does not fit with the camera. As a result, nearly all my MM lenses from ultrawide to Sonnar 100/3.5 block the way of the mirror. AE lenses don't, except for the Tessar 2.8/45. Strange, perhaps the MM rear has elements placed in a way that interfere with mirror.
Anyway I had to send camera back immediately without having enjoyed it a second  The seller will replace the mirror with a proper one, at no cost of course. But it will take at least two weeks.

Damn it... but at least two weeks later you will have a good working camera.

No problem, these are not problems, real problems are others.
Just annoying

Yes, especially with cameras, it's important. In cameras many hidden things can go wrong, in lenses only few and usually visible before you buy
