Re: FD Lens Bushing Repair - Here's a How To for the Canon FD 24mm f2.8

Great Article!

It looks like only the focus ring of my 24mm lens has some play. It moves about 1mm before engaging. But focusing itself is smooth. No problem at all when photographing but a little annoying when filming as the microphone catches the "click" when the ring engages. Also a faint grinding noise when moving.

Is the focus ring the outer barrel? Do I need to to the disassembly as described, with marking the barrels and so forth? Or is the focus ring a part of it's own, that can be dealt with, by only removing the front lens element?

Best, Herbert
