I don't know the size of the ball bearing...However, I have a leica hektor 135mm and so I'm going to try to use the ball bearing from that in the summarit and if it works, I'll take it to a camera repair shop and see if they have one. Is it the same thing with the shim....acquired from "now parts lenses"?
Thx for the advice on the FD 50 1.4...I don't own one but I'll know if I ever do. However, its funny you mention FL lenses, because I have the opportunity to buy a 58 1.2 FL with a stuck aperture. The seller is planning to send it in for repair and factor this into her quote for the lens; however, if the repair charge raises the cost too much I may just offer something for the lens and then plan to operate on it myself given my recent experience with stuck aperture rings. Are the FL lenses easy to work with?
