I have a "Asahi Optical Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 1:3.5/28" with sticky aperture. I want to open it up to clean the aperture up, but I don't find any screw in the rear end. I then trid to open the front name plate. Since I am not sure if the name plate is glued or screwd on, I tried to unscrew it with a rubber but failed. Moreover, I found there is a small rubber-like ring on top of the name plate, which decrease the friction I could apply on the name plate. I am not sure if I am doing this right, can someone advise me how to open this lense? Thanks.
