I was out yesterday shooting panos of rice terraces in central Bali and had trouble getting focus confirmation in the D700 with my 28 Elmarit R. I took the lens off and checked it and discovered play in the Leitax mount. The screws holding the bayonet on had started to loosen! I managed to tighten them with a kitchen knife at the restaurant where we stopped for lunch so not much was lost - but I thought I would mention it to Luggers who shoot R lenses with Leitax bayonets. I remember a discussion on the LUG from several years ago about a type of Lock Tite that was not permanent. I think I need some of this product to keep the screws tight on my R lenses. Anybody recall the name of the product? Cheers Howard.
