Or the giddinggroves inside barrel are worn out as well. Leica can provide replacement rods with different diameter to solve this problem. You can do the replacement quite easely by your self. The 'only' problem is to get the right diameter I have a set (not for sale.. ) which in German was called 'lagernadel RD 1.98' # 040-040.002-07. The problem is not caused by the buttem assembly I suppose, or the spring inside the assembly must be broken. HTH Kind regards Fred Hess. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leonard Taupier" <len-1@comcast.net> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2007 5:27 PM Subject: [Leica] 560mm f6.8 Telyt question > The focusing slide on my 560 Telyt has become loose to the point > where it will no longer offer any friction to the lens barrel.
