Annoying hair/dust in viewfinder of NEW R4A.

[dwaoka]

Two days ago I got my brand new R4A with CV 25mm Skopar!😀 Can't tell how happy I'm.
I shot some XP2 today, feels very good in my hand, I use original case as grip.

But post is about something else, as I removed original packing I saw small piece of hair or something else inside viewfinder, on the back of the front glass element. It's very annoying (especially in new camera).:bang:

I said to myself, It's nothing, doesn't affect pictures and viewfinder. But today when I was shooting, when I got light from the side, I can see it in the middle of RF patch, even bigger than RF area, like a big drop of water on lens effect.

Don't know really what to do guys! Help!

Simple - send it back

Ask the supplier to send you a fresh one.

After they have checked it very carefully.

I have the same problem on my Nikon SLR-- as a result of 5 years of use. Does anyone now how to remove it?

Second to that! How do I get them out from there?

My 2 Cents: Send it back right at the moment so that no one can say it got there because of you using it!

...the most irritating thing I had in my camera was a living insect crawling across my view all the while. It was not on the fosuuing screen of my SLR but it got somehow in the prism
