Cotty,
I only have the step. It looks like I am missing the rubber
bumper that goes on here, and thus my mirror is slightly out of
whack. When I look into the opening I can see a slight lip on the right
side of the step where it looks like it is supposed to attach to the rubber
bumper.
Interesting enough, if I put a thin piece of card stock (ie a cut
up business card) on this rest and gently lower the mirror onto it, It is
even further off then when it is simply the metal step. Of course since it
is the wrong size and shape, this most likely doesn't prove a thing.
In any event it is at minimum a trip to the local camera shop to
see if they can do anything, if not it off to Pentax Colorado with it.
:( I'm not looking forward to not having it for month. Guess I'll have to
un-retire my ME Super.
Thanks everyone for their help on this.
Jeff
