[Frameworks] Eiki Parts Question

[40 Frames]

Mike in Dallas...

Try O-rings. Remove the focus knob and shaft from lens housing, remove
degraded focus pad and replace with O-rings. You can experiment with
different densities for providing the right amount of friction against the
lens barrel. The O-rings will work better than most other solutions...

Best,
Alain
