I have a Nikon 50mm/F2 lens similar to this one: https://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/images1/50mm-f2/ai/D3S_2769-1200.jpg
My rubber grip is detached in one area and slightly raised - what kind of glue should I use to stick it down? would regular superglue do the trick? I understand there are no replacement parts remaining so I assume other options are limited.
Thanks,

Eg Pattex transparent contact adhesive.

Contact cement -- which may be the same thing as santino mentions. Don't use too much; let it get mostly dry (5 minutes or so) before pressing it down.

Pliobond is the standard for camera repair.

ive used pliobond and contact cement for this, i think they may even be the same thing…the suggestion to allow them to dry up a little before pressing parts together is a good one.

just so you go in with reasonable expectations…if the rubber has been stretched permanently it can be very difficult to get it to lay back down flat without wrinkling or pushing up somewhere else on focus ring

Pliobond or contact cement, as others have said. Superglue would probably work, but don't! Anything glued together with that stuff is glued forever.

Thank's all - I'm going to give some of these a shot. (Not the superglue!)
