Originally posted by goubejp Had the same issue with the K20D, I think it was caused by the OM magnifier that transmitted impact on the viewfinder. Anyway I had to send it for repair; costed 100 euros.
I had used a Tenpa magnifier previously but had taken it off a couple of days before this happened. I was planning on selling the body but will have to take care of this first now. It does look like a stress fracture rather than something hitting it. I must have gotten a small crack started from the magnifier that suddenly expanded. I do remember putting some pressure onto it when screwing the magnifier thing into its socket. Apparently should have done that off the camera. Oh well -- now I will know to be extra careful as I plan on using the magnifier on the K-5. I contacted the parts warehouse, we'll see. (CRIS actually told me to just get the part from them so hopefully I can.)
