Hi all! Actually I have one more question for you. I just bought a very nice looking Olympus 35 SP rangefinder. The shutter wasn´t working - but I managed to fix that by removing the front rings and lens elements. Cleaned the shutter blade with ligher fluid. Works perfect on all speeds now.

The problem I have noted with the camera - and my question - the lens is a little bit wobbly to the camera body (it was so before I set out to fix the shutter by the way..)

Couldn't identify and screws to tighten when I had the front part of the lens of. I am very reluctant to go deeper down and remove the shutter.

Is this "wobbly lens" a known problem with the SP?
Is it fixable? The camera is absolutely usable anyway, it's just irritating.

Any thoughts you might have on this would be much appreciated.

Best regards,
Fredrik (Stockholm, Sweden)
