Hi,
I am trying to get to the aperture of my Olympus Pen FT lens - 100mm/3.5 (it sticks), but fail. I removed most of the parts of the lens, but I can't find the retaining screws of the last metal sleeve of the lens. Am I missing something?
I have the Olympus parts diagram, but it is not exactly like my lens.
In the attached picture you can see where I stopped - this is the front of the lens..
Thanks!

I don't have notes on the 100, but I have some for the 38/1.8 ... they might be similar enough in construction for these to help. If you'd like a copy, email rick.oleson@gmail.com

Thanks Rick, I bought your (great) notes few years ago and they are the first thing I consult. The two lenses don't seem to have a similar construction :-(
