Removing Aero Ektar lens from K-24

[Toulcaz31]

Hi everyone

I manage to find a K-24 at a good price and received it today. I am trying to remove the lens from the camera. First step were easy and I am currently at the following stage:




Could anyone advise please what the next steps should be to fully remove the lens?

Thanks for your help

Pull those 4 big flathead screws. The lens unthreads in the normal direction from the mount. There may likely be a grub screw holding it in place, look for that on the rear cell area of the lens. It would be a screw going perpendicular to the threads of the lens itself, screwing in radially into the mount and into a recess in the rear lens cell, most likely. It will probably be fairly small.

Got it! Thanks a lot!

For future reference for other people, here are some useful tips: unscrew the little appendix for the aperture so you don't look stupid when removing things around the lens...

Precision tools used for computers work great to remove the tiny screws holding the lens.
