Thanks to those who replied to my questions about the Beaulieu R16

Here's a new one: I note a speckled, dot-like substance on the reflex mirror--easily seen through the view finder. I tried to clean it but to no avail. What's the problem--and the solution?

A semi-related topic about the Beaulieu R16 with the 12-120 lens. It's very heavy and in contrast the turret plate, if that's the correct term, is, as others have noted, quite thin. Is there support made for the 12-120 lens that takes some of the load off the plate?

As a note aside, I'm a real beginner and got the R16 because it was relatively cheap. Seems like a decent camera.

Thanks for any information y'all can send my way.
