Re: Disassembling Rubinar 10/1000

MTO is not similar to the Rubinar. I have both.

Ok, I guessed thet were similar.
Have you already found this one?http://coldlake0.tripod.com/rubinarT.html

Yes. That's where I found out about the sitehttp://home.t-online.de/home/mmushardt/rb4.htm
which has more complete instructions.

Also it seems the older Rubinar has shorter
rubber focusing sleeve. Mine is like this.

Notice the newer one has longer rubber sleeve.
Wonder where I could even locate the screw
to remove the focusing collar. Anyone?

Here are my notes from when I finally managed to figure out how to do
it (4 years ago).

Take photos of the process!

- first unscrew the "shoe" of the "mounting ring"
- unscrew the 3 screws inside the "mounting ring", rotate the ring to
find them
- remove the "mounting ring" towards the camera mount
- remove the rubber grip and unscrew the 3 screws
- slip the focusing ring towards where the "mounting ring" was
- now unscrew the locking screws of the aluminum ring, correct
infinity focus etc.
- screw everything back on in the reverse order

Before putting the ring back on:
- lock the inner ring of the mounting ring so one hole for the
screw aligns with the hole, where the "shoe" comes
- put the ring back on the lens, so this hole aligns with one of
the holes on the oposite side of the lens where the focusing line is
(if you don't do this, the focusing line will never lock on top of
the lens - 4 locking positions and 3 screws)

Hope it helps.
It realy isn't all that complicated when you have the lens before you.
