Hollenbj, if you look at the back of any Nikon mount lens, you will see a slot at the 9:00 position (matching the mount locking pin at 3:00 if looking at the camera mount). This is where the mount locking pin goes when the lens is mounted. On an AI lens, you can access this slot from the side in case your mount locking pin gets stuck, as in Yannick's case. A small screwdriver usually does the trick. But on a non/AI bayonet, as Sillycongaru points out, the aperture ring extends beyond the edge of the bayonet, and blocks access to the slot. PF |
