  1. Re: Wollensak 12: Series II Velostigmat CLA and question on retaining ring.

    Andrew, when I removed my retaining ring for the front element, I just used thumb pressure to turn it (thumbs 180 degrees apart). If that doesn't work, get a wide elastic band and use it as a...

    Your advice was right on Mark. My lens must be in good shape as the lens retaining ring screwed off very smoothly. Once off I could see the TINY set screw, which also screwed out easily. I took the...
