Dear friends!
I suddenly discovered that the viewfinder Len- glass on my G3
is broken (the Len near the eye).
Can someone help - how it can be replaced ?
What is the estimated price for material and work?
Is there any detailed material how the camera can be opened?

Thanks in advance
dori

I doubt this can be done cheaply. Probably better to use the LCD. :(

I would only bother if I were going to re-sell the camera at some point, and only if it would increase the value of the camera more than the repair cost ie: worthwhile (and I have no clue whether this would actully be worthwhile or not). If I were you'd I do as Pradeep syas, just use the LCD...it's all I use as it is.

20D, Tamron 28-75 blah blah blah, IR converted G3, and a substantial wish list
