Broken Super Takumar 50 f1.4 Need help with repairs.

Hey Chris,

Thank you for the reply. So to clarify I wrap the dress ring with something rubber to provide a better grip? Do I just use brute force to unscrew the dress ring? Is there a direction I unscrew or have to loosen any screws first?

I'm not sure if this helps, but whenever I wiggle the focus ring, it moves with the dress ring and the distance ring, which is what it should normally do. But I can also wiggle the dress ring itself without moving the other two parts. So I'm guessing something is loose?

Thanks again Chris,
Eric

This is my first post on the forum and I think this is the right place to post, so please go easy on me.

So just this morning, my Super Takumar that I use and love decided to break on me. It suffered no injuries at all and just spontaneously broke!

My Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 has a stuck focus ring. It only rotates slightly, but the lens does not move back and forth at all. On the top of that, the aperture ring moves smoothly, but the when wiggling the focus ring the aperture blades moves too. So when I'm at f1.4 the lens is wide open, but when I focus closer, the blades close in to around f2.4 and when I focus farther, the blades move back to f1.4.
And now a tiny black screw just fell out from the lens. I believe from the back.

I contacted one of my local repair stores, and he said he could have it fixed for $65 CAN. Is there any other places I can send to that can fix this for a cheaper price? Or is it an easy fix that I can do myself?

Thanks,
Eric
