Romeo 2.0 Lens Retaining Screws

[Mikey]

Anybody find a vendor for these? This is beyond frustrating... I only need one!

They're not traditional screws, they're partially threaded pins. Or a goofy pin/set screw hybrid.

It's going to be a real pain to find something compatible.

Try something like this - but I don't know the thread spec on the Romeo 2, just that it takes a T5 driver.

Yeah this is the right idea, but it would need to be cut off on both sides to get the right thread to pin length. I think these are T4 though? I would take a shot at it for $6 or so. It's odd what aftermarket suppliers pick and choose as far as recreating hardware, lenses, etc...

If you get me a detail print I can have them made. I can see early next week what kind of pricing you might expect after I call a few guys and see who's got time on their screw machines.

As in a pic? I'll pull out the other one and see what I can macro.

No, a dimensional drawing.

McMaster has extended tip metric set screws. If you find out the thread pitch and some rough measurements of the extension you might could find one compatible.

These are a couple bucks per hundred. I'm sure if you found the right one you'd be able to sell the rest at a couple bucks per 10 and make your cash back.

This is a "detail" (drawing) of one of them.

Okay. I don't know if I have any way to get that info here but let's see what I can find out. Thanks!

Oh...one more post before I can go to the exchange...nice!

Anyone can help? I found a website that sells these screws, but I have no clue of what size it is.
