mickjazz Posted October 18, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 18, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) The stop pin/screw fell out and was lost. I ordered a replacement from nobby sparrow in Japan that I hope matches ok. This is a 4 digit with no upgrades obvious. The issue is how to start screwing the mount into the body to get the tab positioned at the hockey stick for infinity - mount screwed in fully. I've tried different start positions for screwing in the mount but can't seem to get it started correctly so that the infinity position is right. Can someone here tell me what clock position the tab is at when starting to screw in the mount? Thanks m Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

willeica Posted October 18, 2016 Share #2 Posted October 18, 2016 Try with the knob near 1.25 meters, at about 7 or 8 O'Clock. This usually works for me. William Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickjazz Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted October 18, 2016 Thanks William. Will try it. I'll upload some images of the camera. It's the only ia I've ever had. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
willeica Posted October 19, 2016 Share #4 Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) On second thoughts maybe it is the distance indentation (marker) on the lens that should be aligned with that position. Try both and see what happens. I have 5 or 6 1 Model As, but it is some time since I have had the lenses off. Once you master it there will not be an issue. Apologies for my slightly faulty memory.

mickjazz Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted November 17, 2016 After a few tries I managed to get the lens back on correctly. Then added the stop screw from Japan. But then I noticed that the shutter was dragging at a few speeds. Should have checked it more carefully with the lens off. May have to send it for cleaning. Welcome, dear visitor!
