The other day I was really happy because I received two of the new screens for
my LX (the SC 69 and the SG 60). The problems came when I started exchanging
them.
First, I quited the SC 21. The frame went down, but the screeen remained up.
With effort and time, it went down minty. I put the grid SG 60. It went up, ok.
But when I tryed to quit it, the frame wents down, but the screen doesn't. I
start sweating trying to quit it very carefull, when with a little movement of
the tweezers, I made a small scratch to it. Fuck! I continue trying and another
small scratch. Fuck! Finally it went down but damaged.
Imagine how I feel, since I live in Argentina, it was a miracle I was able to
obtain them right from Japan, and the first time I put it, I scratch it.
Then I try to put the standard SC 69. The problem was that when I pull the frame
up with the screen on it, when the frame is practically up, the rear part of the
frame makes presure, doing the front part of the screen to go up, and when the
frame clicks, the screen is not well aligned with the mirror box. It's higher in
the front and lower in the back. Not too much, maybe half a milimiter, but being
a part very sensitive to changes in position and critical to obtain acurate
focus, I was worried. I repeated the secuence may be twenty or thirty more
times, always with the frame going down alone, and having to quit the screen
after. All the times, when the frames goes up, when it is reaching the top of
mirror box, the screen does this movement, resulting me impossible to put it
aligned with mirror box. I didn't damaged too much. I just see three small dots
on it. I'm worried by focus acuracy. It seems to focus ok, and the image in the
viewfinder looks ok , but I lost my trust in the accuracy of it, and I feel bad.
I want to know if it is normal to the frame to go down leaving the screen up in
its position, and if somebody got pretty hard times as I did changing screens on
his/her LX. My experience is it is not very user friendly.
All I want to do is to put the new SC 69 onits place right and leave it forever.
Any kind of help or tip welcome.
Thanks
Albano.
PS: If somebody is interested in the scratched SG 60, just tell me.
