One of mine got fogged up, but that's because I was obsessively and excessively blowing dust off (and, it turns out, in) it with one of those Dust Off(r)-type blower thingies -- you know, the ones which will actually lay a haze on glass surfaces if you spray too close or hard? I managed to lay a haze on the inside surface of the front viewfinder glass. This was a few years ago; I got Sherry to scrub it out when the camera went in to get something else fixed. To paraphrase the old catch-phrase, if it hurts when you do that -- don't do that! I've quit doing that. Granted, I haven't been spending that much time photographing in places where my camera or lungs would get too badly coated, but nothing of the sort has been a problem for me in normal use. - --Bn2rw/3z4jIqBvZU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE52Cu8HlXxJ2VEJXkRAWlmAKC7dSfOs0tT9qUgYgU75IQc1wAeHwCguIam FPCHVziPsWNRjuumvadBkAw= =rf8T - -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - --Bn2rw/3z4jIqBvZU--
