voigtlander color-skopar 2,5/35: focus-ring disconnected - how do i fix it

[harry_zet]

<p>a friend of mine gave me his color-skopar 2,5/35 in leica m39 mount, which has a strange problem: the distance ring is sometimes blocked at the 3m position, if you turn it slightly it will get free again and focuses to infinity. however the rangefinder-cam will only move at distances from about 2m to ifinity. if you turn the distance ring, you can feel that something is slightly loose inside the barrel. my question: how do i open the lens? from the back? i have spanner, wrench etc, but would be glad if someone can point me in the right direction, with pictures, drawing a manual or so. any hints?</p>

<p>You could send it to Cameraquest, an official Voigtlander dealer. Their techs can fix Voigtlander lenses.</p>

<p>thanks all. i now disassembled the lens, only to find out, that a ring inside was broken and blocks the distance ring. i will send it to a voigtlander-repair-expert here in vienna.</p>
