I had some problems with a 50 mm SMC takumar in very bad condition and that had a damaged filter ring.
The nameplate didn't wanted to move, first i repaired the filter ring but still no movement of the nameplate, then I used a bit of acetone to loosen any glue if present, after that i put some wd40.
Some sellotape on the nameplate ring, the rear cap of the lens and pure brute force.
Most of all patience, it took me 4 days of trying several times a day and almost throwing the lens into the bin until finally it moved. And now i use it very often.
Good luck |
