decided I knew best and tried to install it using blue silcone used to make
gaskets...OH DEAR :-( ...everything went "pear shaped" lightseal streched
, kinked and generally went totally wrong.

> Took longer to clean blue goo and foam seal out of camera than it took to
clean at the start. Frighteningly I came within a gnats whisker of pushing a
cocktail stick through the shutter blinds.
> When I had finished I looked through the viewfinder...to find a
huge piece of the blue silicone had escaped and was now laughing at me from
the safety of the inside of the window :-(
>
> Lesson now learned , Camera will be sent for a FULL service in the New
Year. To be truthful it has been a brilliant tool and fully deserves a
service. I just wish John H. was closer as I would prefer to send it to him
or Clint.
