I finally got my KMZ 35mm viewfinder from the bay today. But it was full of brownish dust on the inside, and the mask on the front was so crooked, I wonder how the former owner could use it. I decided to open and fix it. I took some photos of this process (as easy as it was), perhaps you are interested what a FSU external viewfinder looks from the inside. If not, this is going to be boring :D

First you can see the five parts the viewfinder consists of. There was a lot of old glue, the origin of all the brown dust.

I cleaned the two lenses and the body. Then reassembled the whole thing.

And now it sits proudly on my Zorki 1! There you go. Hope you find this interesting. There is also a photo I took recently with this combo.

Have a nice day, I truly enjoy this forum!
