I rang the local camera house and actually spoke to someone that uses cameras and knew what she was talking about. I was put onto a company in Brisbane that she uses. They also do fungus cleaning as well. $$
They were helpful but needed to see the camera and after speaking with a tech who wanted to pull it apart to fix it
$$$
I thanked her for her help and decided to think about it.
Upon closer inspection of the camera in good light, I'm up for a repair job myself. There are small pads under the mirror itself that i assume place the mirror at the correct distance. If I use a light weight glue and only slightly higher than the pads and then settle back down on the pads I don't see why it won't work
I'm game to give it a go now. I've got nothing to lose really. I can't use the camera as is, and i don't want to pay hundreds to get it done. I'd be better off putting those hundreds towards a new camera.
Glue suggestions anyone?
araldite
superglue
Tarzan's grip (an oldie but still a goodie
)
needs to be easily available and in small quantities.
Thanks
