Hi
I was wondering if some of you engineers and mechanically minded gentlemen or women, would know of a similar tool that is available today in the industrial world.This was a specialised tool made for the 70-210 series 1 lens ( for removing the 5th lens group)
This flickr image I believe shows something similar

Maybe this makes it easier as people don't have to follow the link to my Flickr image of the Rolleiflex tools :
Vintage Lens Removal Tools (01) by Hans Kerensky, on Flickr
Which you good luck in finding something similar for your lens. These kind of tools are very rare. _________________ -------------------------------------------------------

A tool like that is probably a universal tool with interchangeable collets for different diameter lenses, there's a set of different size holders, but each holder might take several different sizes of collet.
Without such tools people resort to using suction pads, the ones used for hanging ornaments on windows, that they fix on a stick of some sort. I epoxied a suction pad onto a plastic ball point pen and that worked fine for removing lenses.
For putting them back in the suction pad is pretty useless, so I have used a long bit of silicone tube, put one end in my mouth and sucked with the other end on the lens, hold the suction, use the tube to feed the lens element inside the lens body, open the tube and the lens is in place. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....
I have loads of stuff that I have to get rid of, if you see me commenting about something I have got and you want one, ask me.

What you need is a "lens sucker" - indispensible for picking up and putting back lens elements inside lenses.
It has a suction cup connected to a bulb via a metal tube (actually two tubes, one long and one short, depending on application), which enables suction via vacuum and release by squeezing the bulb.
Very handy. _________________ Sony A7R and wildly varying flora of lenses |

Thank you Hans for showing your image.
I know about the suction devices,good on you Lloydy for really making a suction device
The pupose of posting this image, is there something equivalent out there or would it be a viable adventure to possibly make a new one? I not only like old lenses but love old mechnical tools...one leads to the other I guess.
I would think these may get thrown out by family members who did not know what they were _________________ Moira, Moderator

Yes, many old tools get thrown away. Especially special tools that someone doesn't have any idea of it's purpose. It's not always easy to determine a tools purpose, I have a all of my fathers tools, he was an engineer who worked on Spitfires in the war and then worked in the water industry, we have a lot in common. But there's things in his boxes of tools that I can't figure out, and sadly I didn't ask while he was about. I still have all his apprentice pieces that he made sometime around 1940, I actually still use some of them. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....
