Has anyone taken apart a zf41/1 and taken some pictures? I would like to see some pictures of what the innards of zf41/1 are supposed to look like. I am particularly interested in the objective end eccentric cams that allow zeroing. Mine seem to be fuzed together currently, moving one moves both. Even using the zero sticks in opposing directions, I can’t get them to move separately.
Anyone been inside their zf41?

Maybe you should check our friend @kentomon 's website, I'm sure you'll find most of what you want to know there: http://zielfernrohr.b.la9.jp/index.htm

Thanks, I have been scouring kentomon’s website already. A great resource but haven’t found a lot pictures of the inner workings.
Thanks that cross section is helpful. Using this and kentomon’s site I can tell this cross section is for a type 1 or 2 scope while mine is type 3 but it does provide some insight into the internal configuration of mine.
Appreciate that diagram, the objective end in that diagram looks like the one I have.

If you want to see the pictures of the inside, there are excellent photos of the Type1 in a Japanese website by AKIRA.

This is excellent! Thank you Kentomon. I have never seen a set of photos of the Zf41 broken down like the is before.

Agreed, it makes that little scope much less intimidating
Just send it. I took mine apart as a young mechanic, and got it back in working order without much issue. I can’t recall as it was 10 years ago, but the thing ended up working fine, good sight picture. Had it been some type of really complex stuff I likely would have failed as I had no pictures even. Haha honestly I wish I remembered more or took pics but like i said it was a long time ago.
