I have the above lens and the front trim/filter ring and aperture ring are loose. Anyone know how I can get into this lens to tighten it? Thanks.

Hello. I looked on the forum and found out from a previous post that the ring is secured by a front trim ring.

When tightening, the only thing that one has to keep aware of is placement of the spring supported detent ball for the aperture. Got it all together.

This is the standard construction method for zuiko lenses, both OM and Pen. A soft rubber sink stopper of the correct diameter to sit on the trim ring is a very useful tool for this.
