Default Re: Vintage film cameras

If it's one of those multi-start coarse threads then they're a pig on a good day. Are you able to re-engage it where it came out? Depends if you took a pic just as it came out. Sometimes you just have to keep going form one to the next. Check the ends carefully for any lumps or deformed thread ends, this makes a big difference. I almost didn't get the focus thread back together on my Certo (turned out I never needed to separate it), fortunately there was a ring on the other end and I managed to screw it all the way off the wrong end, which cleaned up the ends and it went back together again. I was wondering for a while if I was in the swanny.
