and I have a weird question, every time I look thru the viewfinder, everything looks very fuzzy, I mean even setting the focus at infinity, everything should be in focused; right?

But unfortunately; it is still foggy, is there a way to fix this?

Thanks,
James

Fuzzy or foggy? If it is foggy, check the lens for hazing. If it is fuzzy check the mirror or focusing screen.

Check rear VF lens......may be pushed out of mount and at an angle to camera prism. Also check mirror and VF focus screen for proper alignment/installation (visual check). Need further help? Call me at 863-815-0480 (www.flcamerarepair.com).
