[Me Super] Hi Cyril, This is one of the most common failure modes of the ME Super, and it means that it's time for a CLA, either of the mirror mechanism or most likely the shutter assembly. Access to either of these requires a total disassembly of the camera, so doing it yourself would be a fairly major undertaking - if you're brave, have a look at http://www.kyphoto.com/classics/pentaxmeramblings.html, or download the ME and ME Super service manuals from Mark's website.
