clean r2 viewfinder?

[shaaktiman]

I have a tiny speck of dust in my viewfinder somewhere. I can see it travel across my field of vision and the rf patch when I focus. Any way I can blow it outta there?

I'm going to screw up my camera trying to do this, aren't I?

Same thing has happened to my rangefinder patch. I've been tempted to remove the R2's hotshoe to expose the rangefinder mechanism so I can blow out the dust. But I've decided to leave well enough alone for now, rather than risk screwing up the rangefinder alignment or doing some other damage.

It's not impossible for you to fix it, but I have lost count of how many people who tried to adjust their Bessa's rangefinders only to end up damaging their cameras. For most people, it is not a good idea to try. But if you have camera repair experience, you will probaby be fine.
