Zenithstar dew shield

[Huey (Michael)]

Hi there,
I,ve got a Zenithstar 80 for a few years now. Lately i noticed the dew shield began to slip. Does anyone know any remedy to keep the dew shield in place or how to retighten it?

Thanks for your help and time

I think you can unscrew it and replace the felt inside. Alternatively you can just use an elastic band round the main tube to stop it slipping - I do this with my old camera lenses.

I had the same problem with a Zenithstar 110mm. I unscrewed the dew shield and found the felt friction material had partly come unstuck. I just glued it back in place and everything was fine.

Thanks Larry and Morton,
I'll give it a try

Clear skies, Huey
