Replacing a broken viewfinder glass on Mamiya 7II.
As seen in the second photo, there is a small crack in the viewfinder glass in the upper left corner. While this will not cause any problems as it is not loose, the top cover needed to be removed for rangefinder service so this was the time to replace the broken glass. Photo three shows me cracking the glass fully so that it is easier to remove since it is cemented in place during construction. Photo four shows the new glass installed.
