CameraEYE Member  56 posts Joined Dec 2009 Location: Jersey More info | Sep 21, 2010 15:51 | #1 Just got my Canon T1i back from the Canon repair center. They stated that there was worm remains in the viewfinder assembly. Ok, what the hell are worm remains? How did I get them and how do I not get them again? Wish they explained that in the letter. Any thoughts or suggestions on how not to get worm remains? http://mgorephotography.zenfolio.com/

yourdoinitwrong Goldmember  2,394 posts Joined Apr 2009 Location: Indiana More info | How exactly do they identify "worm remains" that are small enough to fit in a VF? Sounds like when a shady mechanic tells a customer they need to replace their muffler bearing. 5D4 w/BG-E20, 24-105 f/4L, 70-200 f/2.8L IS II, 35 f/1.4L, 85 f/1.8, 100 f/2.8L IS Macro, Sigma 50 f/1.4
