Carl Zeiss Jena 2.8/50 (alu finish)

Hello guys,
I recently bought this lens along with a Pentacon F
for almost next to nothing.

This is the lens: http://www.praktica-collector.de/Tessar_2.8_50.htm

It had stuck focusing ring,
which wouldn't move at all.

So, after screwing out the outer big ring at rear,
I was able to take off complete lens group all in one.
(no fungus, no oil on blades, etc.)

Then I decided to disassemble it
to clean off the threads from the old grease
(1. focusing ring, 2. inner tubus from rear tubus)

Now, here is, where I stuck now:
Looks like, I can't reassemble them.
I didn't mark anything on these 3 parts.
I was glad, I could unscrew them, anyway.

Well, every time, I put them together,
the inner part seems to stuck,
before the focusing ring screws in completely. Crying or Very sad

There is always a gap of 2-4mm.

Is there any link/hint, which shows the order?

Thanks in advance
Hasan

PS: Haha, I just noticed, that all my writing looks like an ode Laughing

Have a look on this site and in the forums too. http://www.kyphoto.com/classics/articles.html

Somebody on that site will have done it already.

Sorry for posting this only now.
Thanks for the answers, Carsten and Farside.

The links you have posted, didn't help much.
I needed kind of a scheme, where I could see,
at which points I have to put things together.

So I tried, and tried.
After million attempts, I managed to re-assemble it. Very Happy

Here are the first attempts with it.

Thanks Orio. Yes, it payed off to fiddle around with it.
Got it + a Pentacon F for about 8€ Very Happy

I forgot to mention (if my memory serves me right), that these were shot at f4.
