Nicely composed Sreedhar! Every time I've tried to do surgery on a lens like that I've broken it or couldn't put it back together.

Thank you, Scott!

I come with my fair share of screwing up the lenses. I had to let go of a couple of lenses altogether before I could fix one. It's work in progress, but I am getting better at it. I try them on M42 lenses that I can lay my hands for cheap. But definitely worth the time and energy spent in these restorations!

Thank you, Carol. Vintage lenses are made really good, all metal and glass. Getting them restored not only gives me a new toy, but also gives immense satisfaction!
