I recently bought a nice silver Jupiter 8 in LTM. I love the lens, it's sharp, fast and has nice contrast; all without being heavy and or bulky.
However, ever since I got it, I noticed that the aperture ring was easy to turn beyond the marks. I continously tried to tighten the tiny setscrews but couldn't solve the problem until last week when armed with a strong LED flashlight.... I discovered there are no setscrews in any of the 3 holes !!
It's a miracle I can operate the aperture at all and I think it's only due to the fact that the aperture ring is not entirely circular and thus exerts some grip over the underlying ring.
Anyway, do any of you guys here have 3 or 4 of those setscrews that you're willing to sell and ship to Mexico City?. They are the very small variant. You can see the little hole just to the left of the '2' mark in the aperture ring (and right in front of the '4' mark in the depth of field scale) in the attached pic of my lens.
Thanks in advance.
