my-first-leica-iiif Posted July 3 Share #1 Posted July 3 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello everyone. I have been searching the internet for more information about the SBOOI and I cannot seem to find answers to my questions. I was hoping that I would be able to find help here. 1) I have an old SBOOI with the mirror coating inside the front glass element degrading. It seems to be a reflective paint of some sorts to help illuminate the 5cm frame lines. It has chipped off (althought I cannot seem to find any chipped off paint within the glass element). Does anyone have any experience opening it up and re-applying the mirror coating? If yes, what kind of paint could be used? I have one of the older models with chrome finish on the backside (instead of the black finish) and the grooves for better grip on the side. 2) If it is very difficult, does anyone know a place in Europe that may perform such services for an SBOOI? Thank you in advance for your help! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted July 4 Share #4 Posted July 4 Maybe because Wil retired recently; there are a few in Germany as well that might help and you might ask for recommendations on the German forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
