My parts list shows that knob ZD4036 is held on with a set screw 2mm
diameter, 3 mm long, silver finish. Part number for screw was NU2x3SN (this
may not apply to current part listing system for screws which would start
with "WE xxxxxx")

Subject: [OM] focusing rail knob question
> An annoying thing happened last night. I was shooting macro, with
