vickko Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share #3  Posted January 12, 2011 Thanks  I've taken apart the all-chrome unit. The foot was glued on, with epoxy, so it must have been repaired by some previous owner.  I will try to transplant the entire optical head, into the housing of a Nikkor 5cm brightline finder unit.  I hope the Japanese housing doesn't harm the bokeh of the German optics :-)  Vick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
