Hi, i bought this lens with a problem, i couldnt change from auto to manual, so i decided to open the system (no problems with the glass) but always when i assemble it, happens to have the same problem. Do any of you guys have a guide for this?
Thanks a lot.
Alonso.

I wish I could help, but I have no Takumars yet.
I'll be watching this thread with interest, though. Good luck.

Did you try screwing on an M42 adapter and THEN toggling the switch? S-M-C Takulars have a tiny pin that blocks this switch when it is not mounted on a non-Auto camera (OK, basically, it's designed to prevent the A/M switch from operating when mounted on an automatic M42 camera). This is by design.

If this don't solve the problem, I saw a disassembling tutorial on MFLenses website Wink
