This 60s half-frame is ancient I know, but I rather like the camera and I'm
determined to put at least one roll of film through it.
It has a very nice quality feel to it, the F.Zuiko 33/1.9 lens is no
slouch, and I like the manual metering system -- read the EV number off the
meter on the top, set it on the ring below, then rotate the aperture /
shutter rings together (keeping the EV value constant) to whatever
combination you like. Not bad for a 60s compact easily held in the hand,
and I can't resist giving it a try.
I have a problem the viewfinder though -- it gives a blurred image.
But I can't see anything visibly wrong with it. It is of course not coupled
to the focus control.
Looking through the viewfinder of a (regrettably non-functional) Pen EES
gives a crisp and bright image so it's not me!
Interestingly when I look the through the D viewfinder with glasses off
(I'm a bit shortsighted) the image is much less blurred -- close to usable
in fact. But I'm sure that's not by design.
I'm not too fussed about fixing this problem, but I'm curious to know what
can go wrong in a viewfinder to make it behave like this.
Has anyone had a similar problem?
thanks
Andrew
