Came to pick it up today and the rear element just unscrewed with the slightest touch.
So what?, you ask, it's meant to do that.
Well yes, but from the day I bought it, the rear element retaining ring was utterly rock-solid in the barrel and try as I might, it wouldn't shift. I wasn't using metal tools, just a strap wrench, fingers, palm of my hand, etc.
I can only assume the heat that's been in this room over summer, with cooling down at night, has done the trick.
Whatever the cause, now I'm happy - I can clean the glass tomorrow and try it out properly. _________________ Dave - Moderator
