MX - Have just aquired a nice MX for a song. Everything seems to be ok except that the more I used it, the more the viewfinder looked like the bottom of an ashtray. I took the lens off and a heap of black foam fell out. It's not sticky, but was obviously there for a reason. Can this be repaired?? Does it need to be repaired. The only other "problem" is the little black plastic bit that covers the centre of the self timer lever is missing. The camera came with a M200/4 M35/2 and M50/1.4. I suspect it's all been kept oin the boot (trunk) of a car because the lens cases are very cracked and "dry". Are they leather?? I can't make out if they are or not. If they were leather I'd put a little treatment on the cases to stop further deterioration.
I now have a dilemma. Which 35/2 to rid myself of. I have the K and M versions. Someone decide for me please! Speaking of ashtrays, I simply cannot stop looking at "Caught in the Glass" by Matjaz Osojnik. Every time I open the PUG page, I need to look at this again. It looks like the moon.
