Alex Sarbu I have cleaned the mirror on my SFX, it was no biggie, just don't press hard on it, very light touch. Maybe you're really not supposed to do that, but I did, and it still works. /Henri

Yes - use a wisp of cotton wool soaked in alcohol, and be very very careful... don't apply any more pressure than you have to, and don't scrub. S
RE: Mirror cleaning
The mirror can be scratched easily, but not so easily like the plastic focus screen. To clean the mirror, I use Kodak Lens Tissue and folded it up into small piece and held by a tweezer, then applied some pure isopropyl alcohol (found in drug stores) on the tissue to wipe the mirror with minimal force in one direction once, then repeat the process until the mirror is clean. Just don't rub the mirror or reuse the tissue. Pay extra attention not to touch the screen by the tissue or alcohol, and always blow off as much dirty as you can first.

Re: Mirror cleaning
Use alcohol (Everclear is best, but isopropyl will work) on a Q-tip (cotton swab on a stick). Do not press down, just the weight of the Q-tip is all. Then use the other end to wipe the alcohol off. Repeat until the mirror is clean. I repeat do no put pressure on the Q-tip. -- Sarbu Alexandru wrote: Hi there... Here I am again, quite sad this time...

Ah..., Use a new Q-tip each time. Obvious to me, but maybe not to others. -- Graywolf wrote: Use alcohol (Everclear is best, but isopropyl will work) on a Q-tip (cotton swab on a stick).
