I got said lens with a Praktica LB for 15 euro. I really like the looks of this lens: small, light, zebra finish. It has the Royal Screw mount but when I wanted to screw it on my Pentax (with adapter), I noticed a problem with the diaphragm pin. I wanted to fix it by using super glue (putting a small piece of hard plastic on top), but the pin always loosens up. Do I have to open the lens and fix the pin somewhere inside (I never opened a lens before) or should I get stronger super glue? Attila had a similar problem it seems.

If you squeeze some glue out onto a piece of card, use something to wipe some glue round the base of the pin, push in with a cheap screwdriver and hold. I've just got the same lens - and this has worked for me.

I just jam the pin on mine with a little piece split from a matchstick and wedged down beside the pin. Easily reversible too.
