This came in the mail today 115USD
The good news is the glass in excellent. Blades are dry. It's obviously been open at some point.
The bad news is the outer module is a bit loose. So when you focus, as you turn the ring, you can move it in and out a bit--the entire head from the outer distance scale to the filter threads. Helical grease feels dry.
Brian, is there a simple way to take up this play, or just count my blessings and use as is? I have 30 day trial.
On the amedeo adapter it turns pretty stiff, but on the contax, it turns much easier, and the finger wheel spins nicely. That's no biggie, as I have other much nicer canon 85s, so this would be just for the contax.
TY as always

Maybe I should clean that little whatever it is 🙂
