A friend asked me to photograph a dance class he was teaching tonight.
The view through my K100 was horrible, when I got home I tried to
clean the viewfinder but it seems to have some sort of nasty film on
the back glass of the eyepiece. Either that, or something was eating
at some anti reflective coating (is there one?) on it.
I tried cleaning it with lens cleaning solution, but that did no good
whatsoever. This, mind you, is not the camera that is missing the
rubber eyecup.
I haven't tried cleaning it with serious solvents, like berryman's B12
chemtool. I suspect that would cause more harm than good.
After class, Ted was copying my raw files off my SD card and something
went wrong with the transfer of the files from the K20.
Some weird files showed up on it:
ls: USBC\033␀␀␀.␀€␀: File name too long
total 384
-rwxrwxrwx 1 lrc staff 4096 Feb 3 22:44 ._.Trashes
drwxrwxrwx 1 lrc staff 32768 Feb 3 22:44 .Spotlight-V100

drwxrwxrwt@ 8 root admin 272 Feb 4 01:20 ..
Fortunately a bit of research found a program called photorec which
seems to be recovering the data.
