Hi everyone,

I'm a proud owner of an auto takumar 35mm 2.3 but I've a problem with the lens.

The glasses are in perfect condition but the back of the lense is a little bit wobbly and I don't know how to open the lens to fix it...

Anyone has an idea about the construction of the lense and the way you can open it to relub and verify the hellicoïd ?
It's also quite strange to have no screws to detach the back of the lense ?

I managed to put off the back glass, but that's all...

Any help would be appreciate.

Many thanks to you,

Blaise

Many thanks for your answer dcshooter !

The main problen with my lens is the silver back of it. It's very wobbly and I don't find a way to fix it. There is no apparent screws, do you know how I can manage this ?

I just shot a little video to show the problem. It's not very obvious on it but you can hear the sound.

I know I'm bumping an old thread but I would appreciate any input on this. I have the same lens and would like to repair it as it seems that a screw has come loose in the helicoid.
