Hi, I picked up a C35 last night which appears to work very well, but has one bothersome issue. As you can see from the photo, the chrome filter ring has been bashed/pressed and is now quite crooked. (I know it looks here like the focus ring is crooked, but it's an optical (ha-ha) illusion). It really is the chrome filter ring that is out of whack.  The lens is straight and moves normal to the body. The rangefinder works and the distance seems good. Focus is nice and smooth with no binding. Shutter works great, meter is accurate compared to other cameras. Is this worth disassembling the lens for, or would you just live with it? And further, how is this filter ring attached to the rest of the lens? Is it just threaded in? I'm assuming this camera was dropped or banged at some point, so I'm just concerned it might be a symptom of something else. Thanks, Bob |
