I've worked out how to do it but it has now left me with some newer problems. 1st to all those interested- removing the lens (which is housed in an all in one capsule) involves unscrewing the thin black ring inside the filter thread, then easing out the meter housing- which is a bit fiddly- but it does come out quite easily. Next in line is to remove the three screws which are connected to the lens capsule. Once this has been removed, the capsule can be screwed out- anticlockwise. The problem now I have is that the rangefinder will now probably have to be readjusted as the three screws holding the lens in were fixed with some kind of epoxy resin. Does the back element have to be a certain distance from the film plane too?- There seemed to be a bit of play on the thread that holds it once the capsule had been 'unheld' rather than unscrewed. Any suggestions? Do I have to set anything on infinity or is there an easier way of 'recalibrating' the focus? Sorry if this is a bit vague- it's easier to show than to write it down! Tom |
