My poor Darlot is getting the spit and polish treatment, it's gone from poo brown
to a nice gleaming brass, but the lens hood came to me separated from the flange,
interesting to note that it's soldered as opposed to being rolled on, which was
how I thought they were done. It's a tight fit on the flange but since I'm going to use a
front mounted shutter, I don't want the hood portion to pop off unexpectedly.
There are two methods I'm thinking of trying to resolder the hood back on -
1) Place the flange with the hood attached onto a hot plate and
heat till the solder that's already there flows again
2) Use a small butane torch and try to heat evenly till the solder flows.
Has anyone ever done a resoldering of a lens hood ?
I'd be interested in your thoughts.
