Summicron 35mm ver.4 wobble front

[taskoni]

I was wondering is it an easy fix on DIY bases or I have to send it for repair?
The front of the lens is lose, I can tighten it clockwise but it still gets lose after a while and rotates anti-clockwise quiet a bit. I am afraid that the lens will fall apart - and it's not mine 😀
Any advise greatly appreciated!

Hi Boris,
The problem is more then likely the small ring between the front element housing and the main body of the lens, ie, its out out position.
Unscrew the front completely ,and reposition the small ring underneath ,this has a small notch that must locate into the slot.
Hope this helps.

How did this turn out?

Those lenses I was told had that problem, I had a late German made one and
they added more screws on the lens mount and other things I believe to correct
that.
