Huh. So I currently have an old Sony digital SLR (an alpha-something) which got dropped and so the mirror is slightly off kilter. I don’t think it would be worth trying to get it fixed, even if I could find someone to fix it - it still takes pictures, although the focus is a skotch off and the image that gets taken is not quite the same as what you see in the viewfinder.
But I do have a couple of nice-ish lenses for it. Are you suggesting it might be a good time to find a newer (used) Sony body that would take these lenses?
Is your Alpha a full frame or aps-c? As far as I am aware, Sony doesn't even make traditional flip up mirror SLR anymore. The A99II uses a fixed mirror that is translucent.
This si the A99 review but it is the same concept https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sony-alpha-slt-a99
