stefan www.randlkofer.co Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 today i received my 90mm voigtländer lens. before i go out to check it out, one question: does anyone have a solution for the missing red nipple, the one you align with the mount lock, usually found on most bayonett mount lenses? not that i usually change my lenses in darkness, but even in broad daylight it is a bit fiddly. i already had this problem with my voigtländer 21mm lens.

michael_darnton1 Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 If anyone ever finds an 85/1.8 Canon with a rounded notch filed out of the corner of the back edge, at the red dot spot, that used to be my lens. I used a round file and very carefully filed a spot about 5mm wide and 3mm deep that I could feel in the dark. When I did it, the lens wasn't a collector's item--you could still buy them new for $145, I think it was. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles barcellona www.bl Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 My wife has some craft beads that would work for this. The PITA would be splitting them, and/or sanding them to a hemisphere. I'd use contact cement as opposed to super glue to attach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
