The Sony alpha A55 pellicle mirror was accidental damaged by a cleaning fluid, while waiting for a real replacement mirror to arrive the Dario (photographer) decided to replace the damaged mirror with a translucent food-wrap plastic, Now the most AMAZING thing is plastic wrap is working a real pellicle mirror, the downside is plastic-wrap degraded in AF performance / Soft focus issue while facing bright light situation.
