Posted on Monday, August 23, 2010 - 05:30 am:        I am trying to disassemble an Olympus OM 200/4.0, in order to clean fungus from its internal elements. I used a lens spanner on the name ring (it has two slots for it), but it seems to be stuck (or - I am doing something wrong). How can I unscrew it? Is it a regular RH thread? Thanks...   Glenn Tinkerer Username: Glenn Post Number: 831 Registered: 07-2006 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)
