I have an opportunity to purchase a very clean (by description) =
Leicaflex SL, with the exception that the mirror is said to have some =
sort of mild crackle discoloration, causing a "consultant" from Olden =
Camera to speculate that maybe some sort of cleaning solution had been =
applied. The current owner says the viewfinder image is bright and =
clear. =20

Can anyone tell from this description how serious this may actually =
be--and if a mirror repair became necessary, is it easily attained and =
not too costly?

Thanks for any advice.

Julian
