I have been given a couple of OM lenses that are needing servicing. Is there a website which explains what to watch out for when dismantling and reassembling Om lenses?

One of the lenses is in quite poor condition (fungus, jamming shutter blades) and not worth paying for a service, so I don't mind experimenting on it. However, I would like to learn from it and not just end up with a pile of small parts that have fallen out from somewhere with no idea of how to put them back:-)

Many thanks!

Ken

Ken,

I have a few saved Olympus OM lens related website files I could forward to you but your email address bounced as undeliverable when I sent them. My email address: [email protected]
