Hi C.H. Ling
This is almost exactly the same method that i have used for my 28F2
and 100F2.8 Zuikos. It is probably the best method if the rubber
ring has stretched very much. The adhesive tape is not needed if you
make the rubber ring tight enough. The join is practically invisible
if you cut and glue carefully.
