Any ideas as to what the problem could be?? Could something else be out of alignment? I'm pretty sure I mounted the new glass correctly... after all, there is a groove for it and brackets (and looking at the old beamsplitter it's not actually in terrible shape... so that might not have been the problem in the first place, though it was fun to open up the camera). Thanks in advance.
