There's a Japanese site that has photos of the disassembly procedure (if you can't read Japanese) that are illustrative enough to get you through it. Here: http://sa_ss.at.infoseek.co.jp/minolta/mc55.htm |

You've got to be hellishly careful not to scratch the inner lens surfaces, all of them are NOT hard coated, i.e. wiping them is a no no. |
