I removed(four screws) the rectangular glass window on the bottom of the viewfinder and tried to clean it with lens cleaner and then alcohol. Looks great, like clear glass, when it is wet but it dries translucent. No wonder I had a difficult time focusing this morning. So I figure some chemical has etched the glass window turning it from clear to translucent. I probably can remove the thin glass entirely which will expose the Visoflex mirror from above but it is normally(when a lens is not attached) exposed to the air from the front so the unit is not sealed anyway. Wonder where I could buy a new window? Dale - --- $ dale-reed@worldnet.att.net Seattle, Washington U.S.A. $
