I recently got a Canon 35mm f/2.0 lens in user condition cosmetically
with pristine glass and a very well-damped focusing helical. The lens
is smaller than I'd thought and proved to be a bit difficult to focus.
So I made my own focusing tab with a small slice of plexiglass 5mm
thick. It took about 40 minutes to contour the new tab with my Dremel
tool to fit the scallops on the Canon barrel. I painted it flat black
with a shot of spray paint I had lying around, then I used some sew-up
tubular tyre mastik (Vittoria Mastik'One) a.k.a. "rubber cement" to
adhere the tab to the lens. Here you go:
