Hey mike, I have the same lens and its stuck on the infinity lock and the focus ring won't move. You think in your expert opinion it needs to be disassembled or maybe it has to be mounted on a camera to unlock? I got it used seemed brand new very minor traces of usage. Would be very cool to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks :)))
Hi Mike, I have the same lens and when holding at the ring with the red dot and at the filter thread area - the lens has some light play - can you tell which inner ring must be tightened?
Hi Mike, thanks for this very interesting channel! I have the same 2.8/35mm Summaron, but with "goggles". I´d like to clean, lubricate & adjust the focusing distance, as there is some haze in between the lenses and the images seem to be somehow "out of focus". Most of your video ist very helpful for my project. But what is the tool shown at 6.10 min. and do I need it necesserarily? Is there any difference between the "goggle" version and the one that you´ve repaired in this video? How can I adjust the focusing distance? Many questions... I´d be very grateful for your help. Best regards from Dresden, the city where they invented those overrated SLRs ;-) Tobias
Hi Mike, maybe you can help me. I have a Leica IIIC and, by mistake, I unscrewed the scale ring from the lens Leitz Elmar 3.5cm F3.5. Now I can't screw the ring again. I suppose that it has a special point to start srcewing.Do you have any idea how to solve this issue ? Thanks
erickpro It was actually black nail paint (I did not at that time have anymore Locktite 243 blue screwlock..), because the lens assembly has to sit proper, and because there is only the retaining ring to keep the lens assembly in place, I add just a little nail paint around the lens assembly, it works very good. The good thing is.., you can still disassemble it with no problems :-) Cheers Kenneth
