wildlightphoto Posted March 31, 2011 Share #2 Posted March 31, 2011 It's easier to make it worse than to make it better. Removing the viewscreen for cleaning takes only a few tools but putting everything back together correctly is rather fussy and you will probably end up with meter calibration out of whack. Best to let a qualified repair technician do this job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkCambridgeshire Posted April 9, 2011 Share #5 Posted April 9, 2011 Is it possible to take a photo through the viewfinder so that we can see the dirt? Reason to suggest this is because it might not be dirt. Leicaflex screens are prone to ageing faults. Dismantling is not an easy DIY job. dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
