<p>Hi,<br>

I have a question about this subject. I tried to find any topic about it but couldn't in this forum.<br>

I wanted to clean the focusing screen and prism by blowing to them (with a blower ofcource). I gently pull the small lever which is the lock of the focusing screen but nothing happened. I tried it again and again and tried it a little harder that I now am a little scared of the possibilty that I damaged it. Anyway after trying numerous times I found out that the lock was disengaged but the screen itself didn't fall like in the manuals or in the videos. Only the frame loosens so that I can pull it down. But even I pull down the frame which holds the focusing screen, the focusing screen doesn't come with it. It stay where it is and where it should be. So I couldn't take the focusing screen off because only the frame goes down and focusing screen is somehow stuck there. I am an obsessive person and seeing dust particles in front of my viewfinder is very irritating for me :D (I know that those particles won't affect the picture quality). I would be greatful if you propose any solutions to me.<br>

Thanks</p>
