Well, it was kinda like doing reconstructive surgery on a species you've never seen but I managed to put the poor beast back together as far as possible. Stole a focus screen from a PZ-70, bent everything back to what I guessed was close to its proper shape. Removed the lens lock pin completely (and none too gently) Loaded a roll of cheap film, taped the door shut and, burned off 36 frames in about 7 seconds! Jeez is that motor fast! It focuses properly, exposure seems OK in all modes, flash works, all the controls work, viewfinder's clean. This thing is very cool. I THINK all I need is a new screen, the retainer clip for it, a few parts for the lens lock assy and a new back door.....That's all! :-(
Don (Insomnia has it's uses)
I better hang on to that manual for now. ;-)

Yeah, I don't much care for him either! :-( The good thing is the 70-210 SMCP-F was very nice and is already sold. I got most of my money back, and, someone got a very good lens for a fair price. Not so bad afterall, plus it came with a remote release and a 58mm C-PL that I can use.
