DigitalHeMan Posted November 20, 2022 Share #1  Posted November 20, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have a 90mm Elmarit-M version II lens (11807) which I took out of the bag today and noticed that the lens is loose on the thread between the aperture ring and the focus ring. I can tighten it up with my hands, but equally I can loosen it again without too much pressure. Any idea how this would happen? Loose screw or just age-related? Looks like it will have to be sent in for a CLA anyway - what is Leica charging for that these days?   Thanks   Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted November 20, 2022 Share #2 Â Posted November 20, 2022 Simon, you might have a model with detachable head, which can be used on an old visoflex. If so, just hand-tighten to secure it. There is nothing wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted November 20, 2022 Share #3  Posted November 20, 2022 It was only the first version of the 90mm Elmarit, which had a detachable lenshead to be used on the Visoflex. The last version Elmarit-M (11807) is supposed to have a fixed lenshead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted November 20, 2022 Share #7  Posted November 20, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Happened perhaps the same as my Canada made Tele-Elmarit "thin" 90/2.8. No detachable head... officially. Welcome, dear visitor!
