Hello,

I am looking for the little pin that screws on to the lens helicoid and is adjustable so one can set the Autofocus.

I have recently gotten two but one was the incorrect type unfortunately. Seems like the IIc's pin is a little different from the Ic, it is a thinner material and has a collar that would ensure the helicoid can't be turned too far out so that it falls.

Below are some images.:

This is from the internet and how a IIc should look like with both focusing pins. I have the one for the left (100mm) lens and the one I need is the one on the right for the 60mm:



These are the two pins I received from a friend. The one on the left is correct and I've already installed it, the one on the right is incorrect.



The one that worked and as installed. Basically I am looking for another one like this but for the 60mm lens, I think those are shorter?



And here are the two I received installed. You can see the one on the left is too far "in" and won't go over the helicoid housing:



My friend might be able to find me another one in a few week's time but just wanted to see if anyone has these for sale?

Thanks,
Ben

Hello again,

Giving this another bump, still looking for the focus pins.
Kienzle makes these and are fine but they come in Brass or at least in brass like color and I'd really rather keep it original.
Anyone has these available?

Thanks a lot,
Ben

Buy the brass ones and brush/spray them with aluminium varnish.
