At the weekend i noticed some sort mite or beetle crawling across my view finder!
I instantly took the lens off and couldn't see it on the focussing screen. It was perfectly in focus so i think it's got in the view-finder area.

I'm thinking about putting the camera in a few sealed bags and a tuperware box and putting it in the deep freeze for a couple days to kill it off before it causes trouble in there.

Anyone done this before or have any advice? Like for example will my camera die by doing this? :lol:
 
it will die soon enough being in there dont think they can live long running off battery power :p :lol:
 
I posted about a similar problem in my D300 recently.

It removed itself from behind the focus screen which I have since removed and cleaned carefully with a blower.

Not seen the damnnable beast since.

Caused me to almost give birth to kittens as the first time it appeared i'd just put my new (to me) 17-55 2.8 onto the body and thought what the ****.

I was shooting Red Kites at Gigrin about 2 years ago and kept seeing a spider in my viewfinder. Couldn't find it on the lens (I guess it would have been out of the focal plane), so it must have been IN the viewfinder.

Bit offputting seeing it pottering around. Seemed to just vanish :shrug:

You can laugh, it wasn't until I swapped the lens back that I realised it was "just a bug in the viewfinder":woot:
 
Thats the Nikonas Splonga mite, it infest Nikon cameras and makes them half as crap as canons.

Well I guess if it suffers from Splonga mite and is still only half as crap as a canon, I'm doing OK;)
