21mm Biogon on M8,

There are no connections between the mount and any other components of the lens, other than the mounting screws.

 

I had a professional repairman remove the screws, knowing about the Loctite issue and not wanting to try that myself without some experience. He had a bit of trouble with one, but nothing terrible. He did mention thinking the screws were noticeably tighter than other (non-Zeiss ZM) lenses he had worked on.

 

I now have the 28mm mount back from JM, and will be re-installing it today. Should be simple enough. One screw is located in the area of the coding notches, but it doesn't appear that it will interfere with coding.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the reply. May I have the contact to order the 28mm mount? I've emailed Zeiss in Germany but they did not respond. Thanks.

regards,

mike
