So I have a konica autoreflex tc and it looks like it has a dirty viewfinder or inside of the main camera lens.
Remove the lens. Hold the camera up to some light and look through the viewfinder. If the dirt is still visible - and it probably will be - it's in the camera, not the lens.
... is there a way i can open it up and do it myself ?
Don't try to clean dirt seen through the camera itself. It doesn't affect photos in any way, and you're likely to mess something up by poking around in there.
Just get a RocketBlower, or some China Fake. It 100% works - using it since ca. 2006, or so...my FC-1 have had a way dirty OVF, now it's all clean again.
Message from our Sponsor: never pin the Rocket Blower End too much inside the Mirrorbox, means Lens Mount Area - just shortly before, don't -never- touch the Mirror with it. These things are very delicate, and exactly optically being factory-adjusted.
I often clean out the mirror box and focus screen on film cameras with a blower bulb , same as I do with my DSLRs .
As you say , just don't touch anything with the nozzle .
If the o.p can clearly see stuff in the viewfinder it's on the focus screen .
Anything in the lens cannot be seen threw the viewfinder or on the prints .
At most , a lot of dust in the lens can cause a loss of contrast .
these are all lame answers. He needs to pull off the top and clean the Prism ENUFF SAID
You could have just posted your personal opinion without making yourself sound like an obnoxious pedant who jumps to conclusions in the absence of evidence. The OP, a self-described newbie with one single post, isn't paying attention to this six month old thread anyway, so we'll never know exactly where the dirt was.
