RE: "This is not the easiest arm to work with..."




" No argument about the fact that the 4 screws on the corners of the base have to be very carefully worked - a single slip and the paint gets damaged - they could have made the base plate slightly longer and wider. Would have made a diff. Or made it usable with allen keys instead of screws needing a screw driver."

As we have already discovered that whoever sold you the arm did not give you a full set of tools it seems that that omission may not be the only problem. There are NO screws anywhere on the SME V. All fixings are hex socket headed bolts (which are made by SME themselves). See the picture. It appears from your descriptions so far that this arm may have had a certain amount of abuse. This is also why you think it is a difficult arm to work with whereas it is one of the world's easiest.

Frankly if you see anything on an SME V which doesn't look like it has the engineering and finish of a Leica or Hasselblad camera then it is not original.

Personally I would now be concerned whether or not all is as it should be and would be seriously thinking of sending it to SME for a service sooner rather than later.

Good luck with it,

Pete
