I was shooting with my pre-war Contax II today, and something strange happened to the viewfinder.
One moment, I was shooting and it was perfectly clear. A few moments later, like, one minute later,
I grabbed the camera again for another shot, and, some strange fibers (like the fringe of a torn cloth)
appeared in the upper right corner of the viewfinder.
How, and why, totally escapes me.
What are those? Any idea? Removable? |
well you probably will have to live with it, as the cameras I own you would need to take the top off the camera to clean...some cameras are very easy (to take the top off).
Side tracking a bit, another thing that can appear on shots is the small blurred line seen in the edges of the pic, well I had this and it was a small hair stuck to the opening behind the shutting mechanism.  _________________ Canon A1, AV1, T70 & T90, EOS 300 and EOS300v, Chinon CE and CP-7M.
