Hi,
I have a small problem with my Bessa r4a viewfinder - after taking the camera to very different places during past 2 years I noticed that viewfinder looks... dirty!
It seems like dust, but I cannot find an easy way to reach it. I assume it is a simple "repair", so - did anyone of you had the same issue with that camera and can share a way to clean the viewfinder up?
Maybe some tutorial?
I don't really want to loose every single screw in the body.

I can't believe no one has encountered (and fixed) similar problem!
Really?

There's dust on the inside of the vf? or there's grase+dust+scratches on the outer surface?

I wish I could tell you an easy fix. Certainly a CLA would a take care of it but some of us just live with it.

Just curious DN, what does deal mean?If it's still under warranty, send it in for an estimate - worse comes to worse you have to foot the bill yourself (likely). If not, break out the screwdriver and Q-Tips. Or, deal.

Well, it's over 2 years old, so warranty period is over.
It seems I have to grab a screwdriver and experiment a little bit.
If any of you had some tips or advice on how to not break the camera while fixing it - just post it here.

unless you are an experienced repair tech used to working on rangefinders,
that is a really bad idea.
the odds are you will damage the camera,
greatly increasing the cost of repair.

Dont do it. Those little Bessa's are farly fragile & theres a sequence of diassebly which may be very difficult to rebuild.
I would vouch to live with the dust.
