Setting the focus is right at the bottom. I can't remember if I glued the focus grip on though. Probably best to repair your one.

Having read it, I think you might be right there. I'll cannibalise yours.
Well done on the 8000

I don't blame you on that one. Will you just swap over the glass?

I think so. It's only a matter of unscrewing the rear retainer and 2 elements separated by a spacer drop out. Swap over one of the elements and that's it ... hopefully.

Either way, hope it works for you.


Fixed this at last

Faulty but looks fixable

Wish I had the money, those are normally pretty pricey.

It is cheap considering what they normally go for.

A quick bit of filing and it would probably be OK.

That's what I thought. I only posted here because I thought you might be interested.

Normally I would, but I'm currently between jobs and need to be careful.
