nooky hesum Posted April 19, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 19, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) This may be a stupid neuer Benutzer's question, but here goes: I have a IIIf with the standard Elmar and recently acquired a 3.5 cm Summaron. When attaching one of the lenses, I find it difficult to find the beginning of the thread. I have to try 4-5 times (very gently) before the thread slips into place. Is there a trick to this that I don't know about? I can't imagine an ervarener Benutzer taking this long to change a lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted April 19, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 19, 2011 YES, there is a trick... by I do NOT tell you..., find by yourself (*)... I did in 1983... (and, by chance, almost just as you.. first Elmar 5, then Summaron 3,5... but with a IIIc) (*) or look at another thread in this section... not far... very recent post by one of the main contributors of the Historical...

earleygallery Posted April 20, 2011 Share #5 Posted April 20, 2011 I turn the lens anti clockwise until I feel the threads engage then proceed as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
