The f stop numbers do not align with the index mark. I wonder if it can be easily rotated without sending it to DAG. I can use it as is but find it annoying because I cannot tell what f stop I set. Happy Thanksgiving, David Lee >> Hello David . The last thing on earth that you should disassemble yourself is a Leica lens . I've had a 35 Sum pre-asph who's front ring had unscrewed after a long trip on the floor of a twin turboprop engined aircraft ( an Embrear Xingu ) . It took me about 2 complete days to achieve the reassembly . The real hard point was to relocated each diaph blade , one by one . Despite the advise of John Collier to avoid a small magnet , this was the only way to do . After all , the lens had to go for a CLA . Jo GOODTIMES , France
