This is the Leitz Macro Elmarit 60mm, until now, the most difficult one. |
|
First, unscrew the six screws from the mount. |
|
Now, the three black ones. |
|
screws out. |
|
Rotate the black cover until this position. |
|
Now we want to lift the bayonet, it is necessary to push the diaphragm lever gently to liberate the mount. |
|
Now we can lift this side of the bayonet. |
|
Turn the bayonet to the right to liberate the other side . |
|
Bayonet is free. |
|
Look for the small ball, this time it is in it's place, I use to save it in secure place to avoid problems. |
|
Unscrew the two clear metal cams. The third cam (the black ladder shaped one) will stay in the lens |
|
Cams and spacers out. |
|
Now remove the diaphragm ring. |
|
Remove these two screws. |
|
Screws out. |
|
Now we have to remove the internal ring, in my lens I needed to turn the focusing ring until the 14" position. |
|
Now it is possible to remove that ring. |
|
The flexible black cover can be removed this way. |
|
Now they are apart. |
|
Put the brass internal ring and the two screws in its place again.. |
|
And the diaphragm ring. |
|
Put the small ball in place with a little bit of special grease. |
|
The ball in place. |
|
Install the Leitax bayonet, the red dot in front the scale center (Pentax version). The Leica-Nikon bayonet has the red dot slightly more to the right than the one at the picture. |
|
Finally, after so much effort, we have the lens ready for our digital cameras. |
