Krasnogorsk K3 yellow viewfinder?

[david richardson]

Hello I have what seems like a yellow filter on my viewfinder, is this something I can disengage?

 

Best wishes

The glue in some optics (prisms, doublets) can yellow with age, I don't think there are filter options in the viewfinder.

Thanks Dom, so there is no worries about the negative being tinted?

No it won't affect the film unless the yellow is from the lens itself (or a filter on the lens). But if the yellow is there even without a lens fitted it is in the viewfinder optics and won't affect the recorded image.
