I thought of using double-stick tape, but I wouldn't be able to wiggle it around to align it. The film is very thin and I'm pretty sure it could easily tear. Waterbased contact cement seems like a reasonable solution.A solvent-based glue might fog or otherwise damage something. Thin double-sided tape would be ok. Water-based contact cement would be ok.

I assumed that but what I thought were holes in the film are not. The best I can do is to shine a light up through it and align it by eye.You use pins between the two to align it.

Oh, I think I have some of that.I used bookbinders glue on mine. It's not as strong but no fumes that will outgas and haze up the viewfinder.
It's a white glue - similar to Elmer's, but no acid etc. Its made for paper so the bond isn't as strong as some of those other cements. I did mine a year ago and it's still holding - I added a little extra around the edges with a toothpick, I also added a few spots on the corners of the frosted glass to stop it from rattling. Those viewfinders are really nice (I have the Horseman SW617 and they use the same viewfinders), but 3 out of 4 of my viewfinders needed some regluing at some point. Even a new one i bought had a loose mirror. But at least they are well engineered and very easy to fix.Oh, I think I have some of that.
