Juliet Orbital Edges Uneven

[dragonvoi]

One thing possibly overlooked...swap the screws out one side to the other and see if it helps it may be a warped screw from over tightening. Also, flex the orbital out a bit, if it was overtightened and now crooked, you may be able flex it and bend it back to where it was. Just a thought as seeing it that crooked is making me twitch as my OCD is kicking in. Almost like seeing the squished overtightened top orbital rubbers in romeos...grrrr

I'll give this a go tomorrow! Thanks!

Yea looks to me that the orb is overtightened, or has been at some stage and make sure the gasket is in the right way, I replaced lenses yesterday and the thin side of the gasket was on the outside.

Tried your suggestion, exactly the same result... I fear x-man is probably right and it's just a quirk of a first gen frame... I definitely have not overtightened the orbitals, they are borderline loose, lol. I just want to say thanks for everybody's suggestions! I think I have the answer to my question and I'll just have to live with it. I'm a bit OCD but maybe this will help me overcome it (or it'll drive me insane!)

The older stuff has more of a "handfit" feel to them. To me it's charm. Finish variations, slight frame marks, casting porosity marks, grinding marks.

The X Squared look like generic frames in comparison.

Does the lens popped out when you tighten the orbital screw? I usually try to hear a popping/snapping sound on the four "corners" of the orbital to make sure it is in the orbital groove. Also the gasket groove has to line up with the lens.
