I see no vignetting. But possibly only half of my sight is working here...

Birchwood Casey Flat Matt Black Touch up Pen for Gun or Rifle dit the job for me.. No priming and the matte black kills refleksionOkay my patience has run out. Bought a cheap 25 dollar mount from amazon just to use until my Leitax gets here. I also modified mine like Rogers that Dag did for him on his 19mm . What I did was file down the other ring to meet the inner ring all around than just filed down the inner ring a little on the top. I did a nice job but the permanent marker I used did a okay job. It's like it should be primed first than apply the marker. Interested to hear what others may have used.
Well hate to admit but I was within minutes of having it ready but I snapped the internal connector on the focusing ring. Called DAG and its being FedX ed as we speak to fix that for me. Its my fault it got a little tight from grinding which BTW was FAR MORE than I had to do with my Canons and it got a little too tight and stupid me I forced the issue. **** happens to good people. Color me stupid on this one.
Thanks Roger for your help
Hi Guy, I had the same issue with one of my Leitex conversions. I just filed the lever down a bit until it didn't rub on the mount.Okay I got this cheap mount and I got it working but the aperture sticks with the arm to the mount which I'm not concerned about. I can get to about F11. I really just want to see if everything is working until my Leitax mount comes. My real worry is I filed down some more as it was hitting. Now I'm at the point where I can almost get to infinity before it hits. I may just leave it alone until I get the Leitax mount as I'm not sure I want to file anymore or I need to with the Leitax. Ill give it some marker on it see where it's hitting and go from there. But I took a break from it until morning. Don't want to rush this.
Thats right, never go down on the gear...:thumbs:Yes when it comes back that's what I plan to do.
I also bought a Dremel which I always wanted to have around the house anyway
Now that you mention it, I may have done that first but the mount material is much stronger than the little arm material I think. Hard steel mount vs. soft aluminum lever. The amount you need to remove is so minimal I don't think it would effect the operation of the lever.When I had the same problem, I preferred to grind the mount.
