35mm Summilux pre-ash focus tab - Redux

A further update: I have now received a second email saying that the focus tab file has passed "manual review" and is "In Production" at Shapeways.  Cautiously optimistic my Summilux may be back in working order by late January.  Good Times, thanks to Michael.

In case anyone else is waiting to order a one of Michael's 3D printed brass tab:  my tab ordered from the revived Shapeways arrived the other day.  It fits perfectly on the lens (though I have not yet done the final install and the nut, which needs to be glued into the underside of the tab, is going to be a very tight fit).

You will need to get one 3D printed yourself. Michael doesn’t sell them.

Hello

I too have been looking for a replacement tab for my summicron. I will place an order from Shapeways using the file Michael provided. 

Are there by chance any instructions for installation? I apologize if I may have missed them earlier in the thread. 

Thanks!!

Hi,

 

I used Michael's instructions/tutorial on RFF and they worked perfectly.   I did have to file the head of the nuts to fit the tab, but other than that it went smoothly.
