There are 2 questions for the technical minds. I want to clean the metal tubing but do not know what solvent to use. When on the plane I noticed that i could not turn the focusing ring all the way. I unscrewed the glass element mounting from the focusing tube and noticed that one baffle ring was not completely flat inside. I took it out and I could focus fine. Now, I wonder if the baffle I took out was supposed to be there or it was left there by mistake. There is one inside and finely mounted. Does it take 2 baffle rings? I shot some pictures with the lens and it is very sharp, i am very happy with it. Now I need to find a 90mm viewfinder. I will post pictures as soon as I get them from the lab. Thanks in advance and peace to all David
