Guys need some expert help..

I can see a lil bug in the optical viewfinder in my 5D3 :( I've carefully open up the focusing screen compartment and use the rocket blower to blow it, but it seems the bug is inside somewhere and not on the focusing screen etc...

what can i do.....

EDIT - I can see it trapped inside the space between the viewfinder and the piece behind the focusing screen, and no way I can get to that. I can see it crawling...:(


5D3 Gripped / 17-40L / Σ35 / 40 Pancake / Zeiss 50 MP / Σ85 / 100L Macro / 70-200 f2.8L II IS / 430 EX II / 580 EX II / Canon 2xIII TC / Kenko Ext. Tubes
EOS M / EF-M 18-55 / EF-M 22f2 / Ricoh GR aka Ultimate street camera :p

With nothing to eat it will eventually die. I remember having three creepy-crawlies in my Nikon FE many moons ago.

That's the trouble with SLR's and dSLR's, there are too many inaccessible places for things like this.

Richard's right. It's not that uncommon and it's not really a problem as it won't show on pics. It'll leave or die and you won't know which unless it dies on the focusing screen.
