[MF3D.FORUM:485] Re: Sputnik Strangeness

Hello,

It is true that sometimes the Sputnik lenses
are not held firmly by the retaining c-rings.
The lenses can "float: and tilt forward or slide
up and down giving inconsistent results. It only
takes a fraction of a mm to cause problems.  When
restoring my Sputnik, I used a very small drops
of flat black paint around the c-rings and allowed
the paint to dry with the camera facing upward.
That method "locked" the lenses in place.
THEN the synchronization of the focusing was
attempted.

Best regards,

Paul Bigelow
