What you can do is get the nosepiece out. Then you have 19mm from the camera face to the sensor. You need to place the back glass of your MPCC at 55-19 = 36mm from the camera face. Just blow some hot air with a hairdryer in the camera body before running it and dry it out when you're finished too.

I have two dessicant plugs on each side at the back that I microwave 10s everytime I use the camera. The pink type that turn blue when it's dry.
Thanks - the back of the lens of the MPCC is about 65mm from the camera face -that is way out of spec.
It should be 55mm from the sensor chip.
Do mean to take the nosepiece off the camera so that
the filter wheel sits flush with the camera?
I don't have any way of doing that right now.


I checked the MPCC - yes - it does have dust on it.
I'll have to clean it.
