This is the Carl Zeiss Mutar II 2x teleconverter. |
|
First, unscrew the rear mount. |
|
And remove it. |
|
Now remove these four screws. |
|
So you can lift the entire levers group. |
|
But there is one lever remaining that would interfere with our new mount.. |
|
We cannot unscrew it inside the lens, to remove the lever's ring, first we have to dis attach this spring side from a screw located at the lens barrel. Later you can rebuild the lens just inserting the last round of the spring on this screw and leaving a drop of glue there. |
|
Now the spring is free, but this lever's ring is screwed to the lens body from behind. |
|
So we have to go to the front side and remove the other mount. |
|
Done. |
|
And now remove the ring that has the mount springs on it. There are three screws here. |
|
Help yourself with the plastic tool, pulling at the screws holes. |
|
Finally is out. |
|
Here we have the three screws that we were looking for. |
|
Now we can easily lift this ring, I didn't disassemble it, as it is not needed now, I will save it together with the other discarded parts. |
|
Now we have to rebuild this front side, first the springs ring. |
|
And now the front mount. Looking at this picture you will see the correct position. |
|
Ok, now we have to remove the rest of the rear side levers. |
|
They are different, so we cannot rebuild it wrongly. | |
Now we can replace this group on the lens. | |
And screw it carefully, one screw a bit after another. Please follow a cross pattern , one side and then the opposite. | |
And, finally, we can screw the new Leitax M42 mount. | |
And our Mutar II is ready to work between our camera and a selection of Contax lenses. | |
You can buy this M42 mount for your Mutar II in the Leitax website | |
