Leica R 35-70 Probleme mit dem Fronttubus

[hofsethpaul]

My copy of this quite excellent lens once suddenly stuck when zooming posssibly some quirk due to its close-focussing mechanism. I assume there are complicated innards that will never perform as designed if and when one gets the lens back together after opening. I sent it to Leitz and got it back some time later with a bill of about 50 €. Afterwads it has performed well for many years.

I don´t think that its to complicated.
I opened up a few lenses and had never a Problem to put it back together.
Also, that thing is "Frankenstein" to me, i converted the Back to a Canon FD Mount.

That means, when i would send it to Leica, i would hear the screams from Wetzlar to my Home
And the Lens was so cheap, it doesnt pay off to send it to a repairplace; thats the reason why i wanna try it myself

Have a good one
