Hello All,
I searched for a posting on this but didn't find one, so here goes. I noticed my Konica Auto S2 has a rather cloudy or hazy viewfinder, and wondered if anyone knows how I might clean it myself. I only paid $20 for it, and it takes wonderful pictures, but I have been spoiled by bright and clear viewfinders in my Yashica GSN and Canon QIII. Of course I don't want to mess anything up, so if it isn't fairly easy I will just live with it. Thanks in advance.

This will let you see what your about to get into under the top.

Nothing scary in there. The Auto S2 once cleaned will have a great viewfinder.
Its pretty easy, a few screws around the top, then insert a screwdriver in the slot for the rewind knob and unscrew.

Thanks, Rob, for the information. I never did get back to you, but I appreciate the link. Sounds doable, and very worthwhile. --John
