Focus Tab Replacement for Summilux 35

[shiosaki]

hello all,

i designed a 3D printed focus tab replacement in brass.

my original tab broke during the delivery, and i wanted to remake in something durable, and also similar in shape. i did several iterations with 3D print, before it was sent to Shapeways to be casted in brass. unfortunately it is only currently available as a glue on option, but serves my needs well 🙂

if you are interested to get one as well you can order them direct through Shapeways! hope it helps 🙂

black finish can be done as a DIY spray project, here it is slightly brassed

when attached on a summilux, might fit other lenses with a similar tab

the broken tab, and the brass tab in comparison

Nice. The brass looks great!

I have a design that fixes using a hex nut (M1.6) that is glued into the tab, and then you use the screw from the inside to secure it. It was the only way I could get away without glue.

Cheers,
Michael
