Can someone please take a look at the photos and questions I've posted at the link below. I will appreciate the benefit of anyone's experience with this.

Lynx 14, the continuing saga...

Jackson I just want to comment on the last photo. The range finder mirror looks fine. With regards to the range finder brightness, how does it look in a well lit room at night?

Also, that tiny mask should boost contrast a bit, by blocking any extraneous light on the parts outside of the rangefinder patch. Also, I believe it needs to be oriented such that it doesn't block any of the frame lines, which are projected from the middle window.

Outstanding work on the images, BTW.

You should also have a look at the 'stationary' lens (which actually does NOT move on the Lynx cameras, there are some rangefinders where this tiny lens swivels with the focus ring). Sometimes this tiny lens is dirty, and in these cases rangefinder contrast can be improved a lot by cleaning. it.

There is also a piece of foam under the top cover that usually needs to be replaced. This foam blocks stray light from coming in through the meter window in the top cover.

Nice pictures of the camera.
