I switched the power off just before the sledge got to the front. This leaves the mirror exposed (it's at 45 degrees to the vertical). I then cleaned the mirror with a cotton bud dipped in isopropyl alcohol. In my case this solved the problem. I imagine that the mirror is front silvered so you do this at your own risk :-) Steve -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+mail=steveunsworth.co.uk@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+mail=steveunsworth.co.uk@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Jeffery Smith Sent: 07 January 2005 23:06 To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Nikon 5000ED How did you get the dust off?
