I am trying to repair this 50mm 1.4 (the one that isnt mc) because it had lost one of its springs and i am using parts from the 50mm 1.4 MC lens since its front element looks like have been scratched using sand paper by the previous owner

the problem is: the most intern doublet of the non-mc one has this little white mark that is not cleanable from the outside, so I thought I maybe could trade ir for the MC vesiom doublet, but seem like the other doublet have this weird “intern cracks” when you look at it from an angle, but otherwise perfect when you look ai it straight

should I use the MC doublet in the non MC lens, or is it better for me to stick to its original doublet?

got it for about 40 usd (sellers offer, i didnt even question) unfortunately it didnt come with the tripod holder for the lens, but i will find a replacement for it

does anyone have experience shooting it handheld or finding a tripod mount for it?

just got this winder 2 and in single mode it does cock the shutter but i need to press the button on the camera for it to fire… its kinda anoyinh having to use 2 buttons instead of only one

is this normal or is there any fix? the camera is an Olympus OM-1n and the batteries are fresh
