Hello everybody
I live in Zurich, Switzerland.
first of all, thank you for the information provided in this forum which, as a long term M6 and OM user, now and then comes in quite handy. Up until now, I have only read, but since I have the above mentioned problem with my 35 mm zuiko, I registered and thought, that others might have encountered the same problems: the rubber grip is becoming loose. is there any way to resolve this matter without sending the lens in?
cheers and thanks for your informations

yeah it's just a matter of finding a good glue - something non permanent
i am yet to go search for one, but since we are both europeans chances are that we both have more or less the same stuff available vs. american market
so has anybody found a good glue for this?

Ladies' hair spray - try it and see!
Spray some in a small container and apply with a fine brush - stops rubber rings on lenses from turning & loosening

Wow John that is something. Thanks! How did you get round to discover that though?

@john: is this sticking to the lens body even when turning the lens into the camera mounting ring?
thanks for your hint, though.

arzee - you will be amazed how well it sticks. It won't take deliberate abuse, but should handle normal use
[edit] - oh, yes, easily removed too with acetone or similar
Hans - an old trick I learned in my days as a racing cyclist - don't ask how

I've often found it on the shelves at hardware stores. Particularly if you have an "ACE" hardware store in your area. It's a staple, much like flour, salt and sugar at the grocery store.

I would NEVER use acetone on a camera or any camera part.
