Hi everybody

open the f**kin camera and fix the problem.
I once fixed my mamiya, after giving it to three people for repair and they all could not fixed it.
Just do it.

yeah, see there in lies the problem.

the camera is an slr however it has a fixed lens, which you can attach other lenses onto. So entry through the from to fix the mirror is out of bounds. So far the awsome dpc community is failing to answer my question.

"how do i look through the viewfinder!!??"
