Dropped $300 on a digital torque driver for lens mounts and it feels like a cheat code.
I used to just go by feel, but after a repair came back with a loose element, I bit the bullet. Anyone have a favorite torque spec resource for vintage stuff?

Check the lens service manual, they often list torque specs in the assembly section.

Money well spent. That loose element is exactly why I stopped trusting my hands. The service manuals are the best bet, but they can be hard to find. I keep a folder of scanned pages for my common projects. It's a pain to set up, but once you have the numbers, the work gets so much faster and more reliable.
