I've got a Takumar 50 f1.4 mounted on a Exa 1c body. The lens went on and worked fine. When I started to remove the lens it unscrewed from 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn and then jammed. The lens moves freely right and left a couple of degrees but will not move further. Also the Manual/Auto set lever on the lens appears to be jammed. The word "Auto" shows while the word "Manual" is covered. Does anyone have any ideas about how I might be able to remove the lens?
