Hello.

4 years ago I had already a himatic. I already removed the front part there and tightened the three little screws successfully.

I sold this cam.

Now, I bought a himatic7sII again and have the following problem:

I have to tighten the screws again. Therefore I started to disassemble the front part.

I removed the black ring with the two notches which holds the front lenses.

But: not all front lenses get off. Only one single big lens gets loose. The black ring got off successfully, but only outside.

There is still a smaller front lens which sits still tight inside a innerside black ring. I cannot remove this ring as there are no notches in it.

I am really wondering because this is totally new to me.

What shall I do? Remove it by force?

Thank you very much.

All ok. I took off the inner lens. Just two parts which either go off at once or as two pieces.
