Thanks, Larry. Wish I'd had em before. As it turned out, with one exception, I did it pretty much the way she says to do it, but I had to experiment a little to figure it out myself. The exception had to do with her recommendation to blow out the mirror chamber before and after the installation. Not being forewarned I didn't do that, and when I got done I had dust particles in the viewfinder that were not there before -- several of them. I ended up taking it out a couple times and tried to get rid of them with a brushed blower, but managed only to move them around. It's not as bad as it was, but I think I'll get a brushless blower give it another try. If that doesn't work, I'll get somebody to do it for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
