I was looking down the barrel of my 7-70mm fixed zoom lens on my Elmo 110 super 8mm camera and I noticed this black square poking out into the lens. I was wondering if anyone knew what this was?
The camera is in good working order, but recently it did get knocked over and fell several feet to the ground. Everything seems to be working fine but I'm just trying to make sure it’s not gonna obstruct the film. But in the past I’ve had no issues.
Also It seems to be in front of the Iris cause the Iris blades close behind it, my best guess it’s to transfer some of the light from the lens to go to the view finder? But any input would be appreciated I’ll attach photos below.
