Fungus in the eyepiece of a Canon A-1

Fungus is not limited to taking lenses: it can also appear in viewfinder optics and eyepieces.

Fungus in a camera eyepiece does not directly affect the negative, but it makes the camera unpleasant to use and can spread if storage conditions remain poor.The eyepiece area has to be opened carefully, cleaned and inspected without damaging viewfinder optics.It is a small repair, but it greatly improves the shooting experience.
