Missing screws from my nifty fifty!

    Hi

    On Thursday evening I noticed two screws have gone from the body of my Canon 50mm f1.4 lens as a result the various parts have come off the body!

    I noticed one was gone about a month ago and i replaced it with a screw that I got from an old point and shoot camera It seemed to fit but I now think it wasn't long enough!

    does anyone of any ideas where one could get replacement screws?

    Thanks

    I may have some spare screws available. Any ideas what size/length? Pics, as ZH mentioned, will help.

    Can I ask is that the screw that's too small, or the one you need more of?

    I should have mentioned the length of the screws I need are 3mm long

    Just an update on this...

    I managed to source some screws online through a UK company
    the minimum quantity that they sold was 200
    so I am left with 198 screws!!!

    If anyone is in a similar situation just sent me a PM and can post some on you.
