repair for my Yashica Lynx 14

[Marko]

Hi peoples.

I use a very nice Yashica Lynx 14. But my camera has two problems. In low light conditions in can not use the viewfinder, the pad its simply not visible! That sucks! I need many light (daylight) to get the pad visible and making the right range!

The second problem is a little piece that will go around in my viewfinder. If i take my camera out of my pocket the piece will block my view trought the viewfinder. Then i must shake the camera and the little piece will go in a corner of the viewfinder and make the sight free for me!

So my question, who can repair my Yashica! I will not give up this very nice camera!

Mark Hama is known as the premier Yashica repairman. He is former Yashica factory technician. He quoted me approx $100.00 for a similar VF issue.

I've got exactly the same problem--went the other day to shoot the inside of a museum and most pics were out of focus due to a dim patch (zone focus w/ a shallow DOF doesn't work well)---now I don't whether to get the VF repair done or just go find/ buy a Canon 50/ 1.2 LTM for my P!!!!!!!
