The shortest items are the converted ones which can be less than 29mm and the longest ones are from the 1950s which can be as much as 33mm. This is just a small example of the extent of the variations in the ‘lens that made Leica’. William Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpotmaticSP Posted December 20, 2024 Share #43  Posted December 20, 2024 (edited) Today I cleaned and regreased my nickel Elmar (with online help from a very friendly fellow). It was really, really needed! And here's also a photo of the spring inside the helicoid prior to cleaning. There was a lot of black, hardened grease inside! Welcome, dear visitor!
