[...] //cleaning of mirror// BO> I defintely need to do this!!! I'll try it first on the 635 before tackling BO> the 124G. Am I correct in assuming that access to the mirror and underside BO> of the screen is via removing the 4 small screws that hold the focusing hood BO> on? On my Yashica D, it's those 4 screws. You might want to check the web for an exploded view of the Yashica D, it seems it could be similar (I am not familiar with 635 model). I have it downloaded, but I don't have the URL for it in my archive :(. If you can't find it, I can send you the images myself.
After you remove the hood, you will notice the focusing screen (actually a glass groundglass and a brightening fresnel screen underneath it) is held in the hood assembly. I hope the 635 is the same ;-) I was thinking of exchanging the groundglass and fresnel with a hasselblad (?) plastic all-in-one splitimage screen I have got from somewhere I don't remember where... but because of the construction of the finder assembly, I would have to adjust focus :( or at least put some spacers above the new screen, which I don't feel up to withuot a collimator or opt. bench. Good light, Frantisek Vlcek P.S.: sorry for the OT but imagine it as enablement for larger formats like Pentax 645 and Pentax 67 ;-) - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
