If you're on a budget, then this gear is for you.

This precision CNC brass fine-focus gear provides a seamless feel and provides a smooth operation of the controls.  The gear includes the notched key slots which seamlessly fit into the knob so it can't rotate independently (see photos).

Note: The knob is not included nor is the glue. I suggest using LOCTITE® 648 to secure the gear to the shaft as it's a low viscosity, high strength, anaerobic-curing retaining compound is designed for bonding cylindrical fitting parts.

FYI, I also have a one-piece fine focus shaft available for sale for the YS2:

To ensure the focus shaft is lubricated and moves freely, I can include a small sample of Nye's synthetic grease at no charge if you need it.  Simply message me when ordering.

Please contact me for bulk orders or custom-made gears.

Returns are only accepted on unused and undamaged gears.  Any signs of installation and/or use will not be accepted.
