Cannot Unthread My Screwmount

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

Hi,

I have a Nikon 35mm in Leica screw mount that I cannot unthread from my Leica III. I know this subject has been posted not long ago but I cannot find it. Can someone go over this again? Thanks

rotate the focus knob (if present) counterclockwise til reaches end of rotation, (you should see the barrel extent out, this takes undue pressure off focus came) firmly hold camera in left hand and apply some force to lens into the same direction. it should un lock itself. the most important thing is counterclocwise looking at the camera from the front. hope this helps
