Davidhs Posted September 12, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 12, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have an M240 which is now 9 months old. I'm on holidays and using my 35/1.4. All good however the focussing mechanism - prism is failing (disappears) several times a day. I turn the camera on and off, fiddle with the aperture ring and then kit reappears! Can anyone explain this to me? I'm gushing that it's a fault with the lens connections rather than anything else. Many thanks for any help David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pop Posted September 12, 2014 Share #2 Posted September 12, 2014 This is a problem most of us have experienced. Most likely, you have obstructed this small window in front of the camera.
