Hey guys,

Well after feeling bold and fixing the lens mount on my T90 I thought "Gee it can't be that much more difficult to do the same for my wobbly 100mm."

Well, it turns out I was wrong. I'm stuck and not sure how to proceed.

Basically the issue with my lens was that the lens mount was quite wobbly and I could shift the lens in any direction while it was mounted on a camera.

I removed the screws holding the rear mount and carefully removed the full thing. I found the loose screws and tightened them with a PH00 screwdriver.

I ran into trouble when trying to put the mount back into place as I'm not sure how things are supposed to be. I eventually did get it rebuilt but I lost control of the aperture. It was stuck wide open.

Does anyone know how to re-assemble FD lenses that can guide me through this?

Thanks!

- Abram

I apologize I just realized someone asked a similar question to mine regarding a 3rd party lens.

I didn't mean to clutter, I promise!
