Yesterday i received a Helios 44M. The focussing was not very smooth, so i decided to open it. Now I can't put it back together. I seem to have destroyed a perfectly good lens..... I feel stupid.
Just thought i'd share it with you. Maybe I'll get it done tonight

Yeah, I destroyed a 1970s Sigma 35-70 that wouldn't turn or zoom. I felt pretty boneheaded about it but learned to never again take apart a Sigma. Some of these lenses are surprisingly complicated internally.

I think you try some of the rings the wrong way. That is what I did for the first 5 times.
