[LRFlex] Re: R8 Knobitis

Good grief, Knobitis is spreading to parts that aren't supposed to move at
all! Julian - I've heard of folks who like to disguise their Leica bodies
with black tape. Now you have a stealth Leica lens already!

Sorry, if I knew what kind of glue Leica uses to "kinda" make their lens
ring stick, I would be using it on all the knobs that move on the R8 with a
mind of their own. Sounds like just the thing to stiffen them up a bit.

The ornamental lens ring of my 50mm Summicron-R fell off today.  It is the
front ring that identifies the lens, the maximum f/stop, and the serial
number.

Does anyone have experience in gluing it back on?  Has it happened to anyone
before?  I hesitate to scrape the old glue off or apply any new glue without
knowing what works--or if I should send it to a professional.

Thanks in advance for any knowledge on the subject.

Julian
