Greetings,

I recently purchased a beautiful 1937 Leica IIA RF with the Summar 5cm.  The lens has haze and possibly a small amount of fungus.  I have begun my quest to research for dismantling the lens.  Thorlabs seems to be a good source for tools, such as spanners, but I need to determine which tools and what sizes I need.  I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I did find a nice tutorial as a guide for dismantling.

Thank you,
