Dismantling the 35mm f/2.8 Ai

[pluton]

Thanks, Pluton!

silly me, I was dismantling a different lens for this post! but nevermind, I will write a proper dismantling of the earlier 35mm f/2.8 as both lenses are very different mechanically.

I need to adjust the infinity focus on both of my copies...one is really way off.  It's an ideal lens for zone focusing due to the expanded focus scale.  Please include a mention of how to do it in your now-hotly anticipated write-up.

Hi, for which lens? I could post my notes here since i have opened both now.
mine is a little off after i fixed it but it looks OK on my test (shooting out of my window focusing on a far away building)

Shooting through glass is really not recommended for infinity focus test/calibration,,,

i open the window of course

for now its safe. no mosquitoes yet.

Mine are the earlier, 6-element K/Ai.  My JIS screwdrivers are too fat to access some of the screws.
