Anyone know what is the size of the ball bearing for Pen F len's aperture click? Is it 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, or something else? I am about to buy 250 of these (the seller don't sell in other quantity), so I am trying to make sure the 1 out of 250 I need is the right size, thanks.

And what do I do with the remaining 249? Laughing

I can't say that I have ever measured one, but last time I had a Pen lens apart, I think I remember the ball bearing being pretty small.

Mine was stuck in a blob of grease, so it didn't fall out when I had the lens apart. Wink

I was hoping that I can get a dozen of each size from the seller, so that one will fit, but the seller cannot do that...

Someone had ranted before: why do they have to use ball bearing for the click?? These balls always get lost and it's a hassle to replace them.

This seller does them in smaller quantities. Maybe they will be more accomodating? I think their prices are quite high though.

This is quite steep, the 250 ones is cheaper.

I suspected so, but 249 spares against 9 spares............. Is it worth the extra cost Smile
