I got the nameplate off, then unscrewed the front group, unscrewed some ring, then the back group comes off. The front group screws into the back one and both are held to the body by that ring. Now I can't see any way to take off the filter ring and proceed with the disassembly. I suspect it's also threaded, but I'm not to keen on forcing it if there is something else I'm missing. I did remove the three tiny screws that hold the DoF scale ring and it now rotates freely.

EDIT: can't seem to attach a picture

Don't worry, I figured it out. The filter ring is indeed screwed down. I dripped some acetone in the thread. It lays helplessly disected now Twisted Evil
