Hi,
Some weeks ago I noticed a small dent in my slt-a55's translucent mirror. It must have happened while I was changing lens, adapter or who knows. (I'll eventually post a pic later)
Anyway, so far this is not a problem, since everything seems working fine (even though i do not check AF often), i even tried to remove the mirror and use the camera without that, no problem.
The thing is maybe I'm going to sell that camera and go for a full frame - not sure, not soon, but possibly: so I will have to replace the mirror, and I think I am able to do this by myself - if I find a spare one.
I called sony assistance and they told me that I have to send them my camera to do that: it will cost me some money (don't know how much) and, even worse, i will have to wait without my camera.
So, two questions:
does anybody know where can I get one of those translucent mirrors? maybe one already mounted on its plastic frame, so that i will replace it in 4 seconds?
And does anybody get any clue on how did I hit the mirror (not really important, just for curiosity)
Thanks. _________________ C&C and editing of my pics are always welcome
