Is my eyepiece damaged?Posted By Joe Conway |
Thus my mentioning the use of needle nose pliers to tighen the ring. If you find a semi sharp pair, they spread out to fit in the two grooves. I have many custom made tools for this, but the needle nose pliers work the best because they're a fit all type of tool. Mind you, slip with the tips and your flat black is toast.
I appreciate your tapping on the ep while tightening. You can't write this usually, only teach it. Tap, tighten, tap tighten until centered and tight. We usually indicate the elements on extreme centered optics, but in the case of stacked lenses in eps I can't think of any other way of doing it. If your elements keep coming loose, you need to do what I described because they're still not centered and are moving. Even then, your're not crunching down on it so it's possible for stuff to get loose, so tighten them again.
