sean_reid Posted November 15, 2007 Share #81 Posted November 15, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) You'll be lucky! Mine was made about 50 years ago by a British company called Moore and Wright that I don't know if it even exists any more. I have never seen another one. Mine is out on loan against a fat deposit cheque at the moment, since I have no need of it on my medical tourism trip to South Africa. No return of torque driver - cheque gets cashed! Wilson Figures...<G> That would be a nice tool to have. Cheers, Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marknorton Posted November 15, 2007 Share #83 Posted November 15, 2007 Mine is from Wiha, another great German manufacturer of precision tools. England / Home - Wiha | Screwdrivers L-Keys Bits Pliers Online Shop| Premium Tools for Professionals You'll even see on this web-site home page one being used to remove the bayonet ring off a lens. Can't identify it though, has A-M focus switch, so not Leica... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erlingmm Posted November 19, 2007 Share #84 Posted November 19, 2007 JMs adapter arrived today, successfully mounted it after unscrewing the Zeiss adapter using acetone, a Wiha PicoFinish 260P screwdriver which fitted perfectly, using the techniques recommended by Sean and Wilson on carefully unscrewing and applying acetone (had to buy half a liter!) with Q-tips step by step, and applying small amounts of Loctite when fastening the JM adapter. After some nail polishing - Voila - the Zeiss comes up as a WATE, and I use the menu to set it as a 18mm. I use a Heliopan ES58 UV/IR that fits perfectly, not step up/down. I have to wait for the weekend to test it however, up here in Norway daylight is already gone when back from work this time of the year.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
