And tbh blurry lenses drive me nuts, happened to mine last summer during a shoot. I figured out it was dirt buildup, so I blew off the dust first with some air, then wiped carefully in circles with a damp cloth, nothing abrasive though because that can ruin the coating. Also, make sure your focus mode is set right, like try center point focus on something with good contrast and see if it locks on properly. If the photos are sharp but the viewfinder isn't, adjust that little wheel by the eyepiece, it's for your eyesight basically and it slips sometimes. If none of that works, might be something internal like fungus or misalignment, and then you're looking at professional repair, but try shooting at different apertures to check for softness in corners or whatever.

True story... I've dealt with noisy blenders before and and it's usually something straightforward like the drive gear slipping or bearings going bad. Unplug it first that model safety, then flip it over and see if you can access the underside. A little wiggle test on the parts might reveal what's loose. If cleaning didn't help, try running it empty that model a few seconds to listen closer, maybe isolate the noise. I fixed mine by adjusting the alignment, but it took a couple tries and yeah, patience is key. Don't give up yet, especially with those fresh fruit blends sounding so good.

Every plan turns into a spreadsheet and then I ghost it. Idk, what finally stuck was a dumb rule that I walk around the block before I unlock my phone in the morning. Everything else can wait and it takes like ten minutes.
