It seems desilvering means that the balsam glue holding the prism together deteriorates and they come undone, while desilvering involves the oxidization of the silver coating to black, resulting in a black rangefinder patch? Am I correct that DAG can glue it back together, and only CRR in England, can resilver the prism? It seems my M3, just purchased 10 days ago is exhibiting signs of decementation along the edges. In use the viewfinder is still clear, but the evidence is there. Your experience/advise would be most helpful. Regards, Gonzalo --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo!
