I didn't know these could fall out on their own, but mine did and is nowhere to be found.

Anyone got one from a parts X-700 or X-570?

Pls reply by PM.

watch shopgoodwill.com - Xcameras appear there fairly often if you want one for parts.

If I needed more than a focusing screen, I'd consider a parts camera, but that's all I need.

Buy an inexpensive X-700 on ebay listed as "used". On ebay, "used" means it must be reasonably working.

At least a 50% chance it won't work. File a claim - if it doesn't work - and unlikely the seller will want it back. But they'll learn a lesson about honesty.
