Hi, I'm new here, so first hello everyone

I want to disassembly a smc 35mm lens to declick it to use in video, I need to remove the small ball inside the aperture ring to declick it, but I haven't find nothing in web, so I finish here.

I'm from Spain so, sorry about my gramar XD

I'll be very happy if some one could help me.

Thanks in advance and greetings.

I haven't done this but I have replaced the mount on a different lens so maybe they will be similar. I'd try removing the mount plate from the rear of the lens and it might be right there under it.

I try that but it doesn't work, I think that must be removing the front elements, but I don't know how to do it :|

I'm waiting for an -A 35/3.5 to arrive so I'll look at the possibilities once I get hold of it.....maybe I'll see something that you haven't or maybe not.

Sorry, I can't see any way to get in there without dismantling the lens further than I want to go on a working item.

It is surely not from the front of the lens. I reckon it will be the following procedure.

-remove lens mount
-lift aperture ring (black ring with indicated f-stops) and remove the ball from it.

Pay special attention not to lose the spring that raises the A contact.

Again, I've never dismantled a medium format A-lens, but I have a dozen of 35mm film A-lenses.
