I have what looks to be a dirty / cloudy viewfinder Moskva 2. It looks like a simple task to remove and clean. I have worked on Rolleis, and other German, Russian cameras, I even did a complete strip down of a Moskva 5.

But I first wanted to asked the pros around here for tips.

One I wasn't sure how to open the top veiwer? any tips there are only a few screws none seemed to loosen this device.

Two: After shining a flashlight into the eyepeice I noticed something that looked like corrosion? on glass or a mirror.... ohhh nooo

Is this a common problem? If I were to open it could this be cleaned or should I be looking for spare viewfinder parts?

I want a tad more info before I start ripping this open and can't fix it.
