Re: Sputnk screws

Thanks Greg.  Any idea where to find these tiny screws?  They
seem even smaller than eyeglass screws.  I like the re-tap idea
and will go with that if I can find a small one.

While I was doing a lens adjustment this afternoon, I noticed
if I turned each lens all the way to the right (with the camera
facing me) that it focused the the grid I had on the film
plane.  I don't recall this being the case before but could
setting the lenses to infinity on the Sputnik be that easy?
Just turn them both all the way to the right?  Or could there
be some variation?  Tomorrow I'll shoot some film and see what
happens.
