Hi,

I have a Minolta lens MD 50mm f1.7 from an old X700 in really bad shape. Instead of fungus in the glass I think it has some glass in the fungus :-)
How do I take it apart? I was able to remove the plastic name ring after wrestling a bend filter ring. But I don't see how to remove the glass to access the inner elements/groups.
Any idea?

Thanks,
Ismael

Ismael, check this site. He's got something on the 1.7/50.

Don't forget to check out the link to repair manuals in English, too.
