Long story short, my LTM J3 is now missing the shim which sits behind the optics block. I need to find a replacement somewhere. Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
...
I had a J3 which was in good condition but the focus had become too tight to deal with any more. I disassembled the lens and relubed it but found the lube I had on had too thick. I left it disassembled for a few days while waiting on new grease to arrive. Unfortunately some overzealous cleaning was performed around the desk while it was disassembled and the shim disappeared. 🙁 I spent the evening going through the garbage cans hoping to find it but no luck.
As I recall, it was a single wider shim and one thin shim. I know these aren't 100% consistent but that would at least be a starting point.
I figured I'd check here to see if anyone had spare parts before hitting up Fedka or others. If you have parts or have recommendations about who might I'd love to get info. Thanks.
