Fixing it in situ will be problematic, since the most common method for getting this ring unstuck that I've read about is dunking the entire assembly in denatured alcohol and just letting it soak for a while.

With the retaining ring loose, the lens/shutter rattles around somewhat against the standard. As near as I can tell, the rear, threaded section of the lens is just binding up against the standard. I'm just afraid of applying much force to it, since this camera is in almost mint condition. I want to keep it that way.

Guess I'll go put on my high-magnification specs and toy with it some more.
