Cleaning dirt from viewfinder
- Thread starter yukoner

Hi Steaphany,
Yes, but we need Instructions on how to disassemble & reassemble the SD14 Viewfinder for cleaning purposes.
Perhaps someone who has installed a specialist SD14 focussing screen may enlighten us?
The manufacturers of these specialist focussing screens usually provide installation instructions.

I've seen those for sale on ebay. The only instructions are to lay the camera body down on the camera's back, take off the lens, and reach inside with tweezers to remove the existing and install the new screen. Seems like it just snaps in place.
I have not seen anything from Sigma regarding this.
I figured a generic viewfinder cleaning method was better than nothing until we can get answers from Sigma directly.

Hi Steaphany,
Katz Eye Focussing Screens provide instructions for fitting their focussing screen to the Sigma SD10. (Google for Katz Eye Optical)
I understand that they are still evaluating the possibility of a focussing screen for the SD14.
Apparently these screens transform the dslr, much better than the AF system especially for low light work. Users laud their praises, much like SD14 users!
I've seen ebay advertising an SD14 complete with Katz Eye focussing screen, so some bright spark has the know how!
