Alright, so have a number now and it is reasonably long. So far so good. However, I have many online reports of people's foam going bad much sooner depending on climatic conditions. Usually it has to do with higher humidity and temperature. In any case, of all the seals and foams, the one used for mirror damper appears to be the most delicate one needing most patience and work to remove. Moreover, its deterioration also puts the focusing screen in direct danger of getting dirty and that, we all know, can be a most bothersome thing to put right. So, I suppose I am looking for an alternative that we could replace the mirror damper foam with something that degrades elegantly. If it has longer life, all the better. If fabric can be made to replace the foam with satisfactory performance, the mess of degraded foam can be avoided altogether. Harryrag has reported that such an option appears to work very well. |
