[QUOTE="Englischdude, post: 249644, member: 16372"] Brian, great info, many many thanks. I have now solved the problem. I took an old vernier caliper and was able to use this as a wrench to remove the front lens. The front lens came out, but seemed to be moulded into a plastic housing which contained another smaller lens... also not removable. Removing this front housing however gave me access to all the glass which I cleaned, it seems to have done the trick! While we are on the subject of dirt........ the image in the viewfinder is quite dirty, due to contamination of the mirror. Any tips on cleaning the mirror? Everything I have read on the web has told me to leave this well alone. [/QUOTE]
