A somewhat common problem with older SL's is seperation in the prism, which looks like pale brown "water stains," particularly around the edges, when looking through the viewfinder. While this doesn't affect the camera functionally (focus is still accurate etc.) it is at least annoying, and can only get worse over time, leading to a gradual decline in viewfinder brightness. Unfortunately, it is quite expensive to repair, definitely in the $250+ range. Replacing just the mirror would be substantially less. Mike Swiek Mike Swiek
