Hello!

I'm having an issue with my Bronica WLF. The magnifying glass is always up and I can't tuck it back. I also noticed, that the right-side "wall" of WLF is closing a bit earlier than the left side (see picture) and due to this whole WLF is a little bit tougher to close. While trying to tuck back the glass I noticed that it's plastic, sticking out thing hits the "lever" (pic. with red circles). Did you guys came across such issue ever? This may not be big of a deal, but I find it quite annoying :sad: Thank you.

It appears to me that the latch may be worn or slightly bent on your finder. It's supposed to hook under the lip of the belled post on the magnifier. Or possibly the spring is weak and can't hold the latch against the post. When you close the magnifier the post slides down the side of the latch pushing it over, when it hits bottom the spring pushes keeping the latch tight against the post and then it slips under the belled portion holding it down.
