Subject: RE: [Leica] Dust in Viewfinder
From: Patrick Jelliffe <pbjbike@yahoo.com>

When performing a CLA, doesn't Sherry Krauter apply a
tar-like substance to the interior edges of the top
plate?  I don't think that is a factory practice, but
would certainly help keep out foreign matter.  Of
course, viewfinder windows are another matter, as tar
would dim the finder considerably, but, just think, no
flare!

Cheers,

Patrick
