As I look into the lens from the front I see 4 screws behind the large lens but farther back I see the leaf assembly but no screws? Is there a trick to remove the assembly to clean? Rick told me how to take the outer retainer off but I dont want to get in there and have it setting on the desk for a month:-( Later I'll have to do the same thing to a C/FD Tokina f4 28-85 zoom, that should be fun! Thanks for any help and Happy New Year All, Bill
