Hi everyone! I'm rapairing that half-frame camera and have a problem with the lens which seems to be a little loose. It is not only the dials which are wobbling but the entire lens barrel, including shutter and the rear lens group. I've took off the front covers and the first lens group but can't figure out why its moving.
Did anyone have this problem either? I wanted to ask you before going any further. Do I have to adjust the screws in the back plate? Do I need to take off the shutter? Can it make trouble with the shutter mechs' assembly?
Also it would be good for cleaning all the lens groups by the way, because they are reaaaally dirty.
I have some repair notes that I've found on the internet but it isn't very detailed on that respect (behind the shutter stuff).

Thank you all.

Never mind, I've took off all apart and nothing apear to be wrong, I will use the camera as it is to see what happens. It's a very easy to dissemble camera.
