The rangefinder image in my Olympus 35 RC wasn't quite a bright as I'd have liked, so I tried the "black tape" fix that I'd seen online. It makes a huge difference! The image is much brighter now and I can easily focus on things that would've been quite indistinct before.
The process basically involves sticking a small piece of black electrical tape on the front of the viewfinder. This increases contrast. It took me a bit of faffing to get the piece of tape to the right size (and it still might be slightly too big), but it's been a worthwhile exercise.
This webpage gives some details in case anyone else is interested: http://rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-165.html
Sorry if I'm teaching granny to suck eggs BTW.
