... Vince, thanks -- true confessions, I already had ordered the 9645. It arrived Friday and I did a touch-up on a DP-11 and a DP-12 finder that had lifting...
Hi, Tom. I'm almost positive it is being caused by a light leak at the latch end. It could be at the hinge end, but I'd start looking at the latch end first....
