I got a CZJ 135/4.0 triotar in M42 which required cleaning of the glass and a re-grease of the heliocord. The glass has been cleaned without incident, but I've taken the heliocord apart to re-grease and now I can't seem to get it back toghether. I tried to mark as many things as I could , but it appears I must've missed a few steps. The primary problem is that there is a straight thread going clockwise which is attached to the main focus ring, a slanted threaded sleeve going anti-clockwise, and there is a groove down the centre in which an index foot/marker moves straight (horizontall). Is there a standard way to assemble/disassemble heliocords? I had a similar problem with a T-mt Soligor 28/2.8 to which I've not managed to put back the heliocord either. I generally avoid taking heliocord focusing mech. apart where possible, but this one was really so stiff that it left me little choice. _______________________________________________ Cameramakers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rmp.opusis.com/mailman/listinfo/cameramakers
