Hello,
The lens release button of my Zuiko Auto-T 1:3.5 f= 135mm is no longer spring loaded. I suppose the spring is broken or loose. Can it be repaired by removing the three screws at the back of the lens that hold the bajonet ring?
Regards
Raf

Yes, it all comes apart in that direction.

Rough (sorry) sketch of the disassembly

Rick,
Thanks for the information.
I opened the rear part of the lens and found that the litle blade spring was ok but one of the two plastic tags that fixed this spring was broken off so the spring moved under the release button. I glued it with a little drop of cyanoacrylate glue. Now it works again.
Regards
Raf
