How to fix small lens wobble on Electro 35 GSN?

[kubatyszko]

Hi there,

I have one of those cameras, already shot a roll of film (haven't developed yet - will do in a few days).

Everything seems to be working just fine, metering, over, under, winding film, aperture, etc.
My only pain is that the lens wobbles a tiny bit (nowhere as close as Canonets QL17's often do), it still works just fine but it seems it's about time I fixed it.

Is there an easy way to do that - apparently the QL17 needs tightening of the 4 screws under the leatherette - is the GSN going to be similar ?

(In fact I need to do that on my two QL17's)

Cheers

This might get more answers in the Yashica RF forum, but I'll tell you here: A tiny bit of wobble at the front end of the lens is normal. They all do that, but it doesn't seem to affect sharpness of focus or image quality. But grip the focus ring tightly and try to wobble it. If it wobbles, then you may have a more serious problem.
