Hi all, Last week I bought an X700 off ebay. It looks like it has been sitting in a pretty dusty area for a while and the focusing screen has yellowed. Also...
Since you're only looking for a standard screen I would guess that there are lots of them laying about in bashed up junker bodies. I'd try a repair shop that...
