small mirror within the rangefinder system.  Could anyone on the list tell

me how to remove dust from the rangefinder system without taking apart the

You might try carrying your camera on a roller coaster. Maybe the dust speck 
will move to a more agreeable spot . . . . On the other hand, you could wait 
for someone in this group to give  you some USEFUL advice . . .
