bebu_lamar Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I just got a Minolta XK with the AE finder. In door I found it's impossible to see the shutter speed scale on the right hand side in the viewfinder. Is it normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecaz Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I have no experience with that specific camera, but I have experienced the same problem with a number of other cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_bowring Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I wear glasses and have the same problem with some cameras. The best camera I found to solve this problem is my Nikon F3 HP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebu_lamar Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 It's just too dark! I am aware of the problems you guys talking about but that's not it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_tran14 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 1. It takes the light from your room through a lens on top of the finder. If the room is dark, the scale is dark. If the lens is broken, it illuminates the wrong place and you cant see at all 2. Check manual page 37, to see if you install the viewfinder correctly.

BeBu Lamar Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Found the problem. The mirror that divert the light coming from the window to the scale is MISSING. I don't know where it went. I couldn't find it. I glue a piece of foil in its place and it's working OK now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
