Dirt inside body of D70 in prism...question.

Postby jacob on Wed May 18, 2005 3:56 pm

Recently had the luck, well misfortune rather of having a spec of dirt, off center/centre to the top left inside the circle of the focus area.
I took it to Nikons head office and was told it would take 2 weeks and if I wanted the dirt removed I would risk getting more particles of dust or what not, because of what would be involved...
...essentially, removing the body to get to the prism to blow out the spec of dirt.

While I don't like taking a chance like that, the spec of dirt/dust is driving me absolutely insane when looking through my camera.
Has anyone had this issue before, where they took it in to be cleaned and had any problems or no problems for that matter, after the cleaning (repair).
Trying to decide if I can force myself to live with the situation of a spec of dirt being there or taking the chance, getting it cleaned and hoping nothing will get inside the camera during the cleaning process.
Thanks....Jacob...
