Use a little acetone and a razor or thin spudger to pry it up.\\ Re-collimate: **2 hrs**\\ remove FER and sunshade/FR to expose lock ring. loosen, check condition of teflon washer underneath, replace teflon as needed, rotate front group. Secure LR with LOTS of glue. let set fully before rotating focus. LR can cause front group to shift. always double check collimation.\\ Coupling: **$50** \\ see [[staff:servicedb:Leica-RCouplingGuide|Leica-R Non-destructive Iris Coupling Guide]] for non-destructive and reversible procedure.\\ Once you remove the iris components, you can access the wire spring. If needed, the optics can drop out for better access but that requires more dis-assembly and time. \\ ==== Cine-Mod ==== Focus Ring O.D.: 2.523"\\ Zoom Ring O.D.: N/A\\ Iris Ring O.D.: 2.593"\\ De-c lick Y/N: Yes\\ Iris Coupling: Yes, **$50**\\ from what i see, we should be able to snip the wire once the mount and iris ring components are removed without further dis-assembly. \\ see [[staff:servicedb:Leica-RCouplingGuide|Leica-R Non-destructive Iris Coupling Guide]] for non-destructive and reversible procedure. \\ Additional Notes: \\ ==== Notes ==== ==== Media ==== https://lens-db.com/system/leica-r/full-list/\\ {{:lens:50mmf2summicron-rii.jpg?direct&400|}}
