Besprosvet Posted February 22, 2023 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, Today I wanted to calibrate the lens for my M cameras, but the screws (see photo) are stuck, any advise on how to solve the problem without ruining them beyond repair?

84bravo Posted February 22, 2023 Share #2 Posted February 22, 2023 Try a better quality screw driver than the one provided with the lens. If that doesn't help, you might want to try heating up your screwdriver first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1joel1 Posted February 22, 2023 Share #3 Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Kroil is a miracle worker. Let it settle for a few hours. Also, you can try heat. Joel Edited February 22, 2023 by 1joel1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I ordered new ones, the one I was using was not in the best shape 12 hours ago, 1joel1 said: Kroil is a miracle worker. Let it settle for a few hours. Also, you can try heat. Joel It's going to be my last resource if the new screwdriver -even heated- doesn't work Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Careful with Kroil. There's no stopping it from finding it's way into every nook and cranny of the entire lens. Their catch phrase is "the oil that creeps." And it does.
