Leica Elmar Repair

La luna nel pozzo · 07/05/08, 03:01 PM

Hi,

I have an old elmar M 90 which has one of the blades wich is misaligned with the others one and this prevents the blades to open and close properly.As I am not so concerned to test my technical skill as this lens was given to me for free, I have tryed to dissasamble but i did not reached the blades. Is there a way to fix it by myself?
Anyway, does somebody know where i can find a repair manual. ?
Thanks for looking / helping,
Antonio

Possibly ... see Thomas Tomosy's "Leica Camera Repair Handbook" ... but you may need to make some tools to do the job ... which 90mm version is it?

Cheers

The book illustrates a complete dismantling/ stripdown of this lens but it is not an easy job

Cheers
