Hi,
Im looking for a spanner wrench to remove the front element of a Meyer Orestor 135mm 2.8 lens, and i dont know which tool i need from these two:
3/32:
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Spanner-Wrench-3-32-Great-Tool-for-Lens_W0QQitemZ200381516211QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2ea7ab49b3
1/32:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Spanner-Wrench-1-32-Great-Tool-for-Lens_W0QQitemZ360194672939QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item53dd46892b
As i see the difference is between the head-tips, but which size/shape is the better for lens repair?

Hello,
I used a cheap steel compass (which worked really fine) to clean my Orestor 135, but then i bought a real spanner wrench from the forum member Alex (hk300 on eBay). They are not exactly the same model as the ones you have found, but works really better than my old compass.
If you want to take a look, here you have a report for the tool written by the forum member Jesito.
BTW, i think Attila, too, sells the same one ...
Hope this helps
Cheers

Well, for 50 bucks it should be rock solid thats for sure!
But i dont know, it is almost more expensive than the lens was, i think i will stick with the cheaper 1/32 version for a try, and i will practice with an already ruined lens.

In such a case, why don't you try a steel compass (which is cheaper) ? If you are careful with the tips, it is perfectly useful:

Hi,
I have it, but must admit that the pictured item is nicer than reality ... In fact, the body of the spanner is not so bad, but the weakness is the quality of the tips, made by some kind of dark gray metal (not HSS steel for sure) and a bit misaligned ...

I'd go for the MFLENS spanner wrench from HK300 or the shop here. I have one and highly recommend it. Some of the wrenches on offer have no way of controlling their spread whereas the MFLENS one has grubscrews to keep the spacing just right. |

I've got a spanner from here, and i must say it's sturdy and works great, it has interchangeable tips and it's really easy to use. I highly recommend it, even though i haven't tried the other ones, i've seen recommendations also on the one from micro-tools...
Hope this helps!
