Update on Olympus E330 - Mirror Fell Off, Again

Whatever many think about Crumby, he is a man of his word, generally speaking. So yesterday after Crumby’s crumby camera broke again, Crumby glued the crumby mirror back on by himself. There are only three things that can go wrong when you glue your mirror back in. You can put it in backwards, upside down, or get it slightly catty wampus. Hold it. Make that four things. You can also dirty it up. Hold it. Make it five things. You can use the wrong kind of glue. Course Olympus, the manufacturer, already used the wrong kind of glue, not only on the dang mirror, but also on the dern rubber grip.

Well. Here is the wretched mirror reinserted. It may be upside down. But then, even if it is upside down, it should still work. It’s just a mirror for Goddess sakes.

Crumby took a test shot or two. No worse than usual, maybe, but a more thorough bunch of tests is indicated. Meanwhile, the 35mm macro has stopped autofocusing. It just zooms out to 1:1 and sticks. Great! Just great!

Moral: Never buy off brand camera equipment.
