Re: Manual focus Nikkor 50mm/1.8

Lou,
Thanks for your response. It is indeed a puzzle. I have removed the
rubber ring on the focussing collar. There are NO screws beneath
this ring. As I mentioned, there is only one set screw which is
revealed in the focus barrel when you extend the lens (close focus).
Loosening this screw allows one to unscrew the nosepiece - filter
ring. This reveals the first lens element held in place by ???. I
need some instructions on how to proceed from here.

Thanks again,
Mike

G'Day Mike

There are 6 different manual focus 50mm 1.8 lenses made by Nikon.
Go here to identify which one you are working on

This link may give you a few more clues on dismantling the one you
have.

Go carefully and use your digital camera to photograph everthing as
you take it to bits.

Good luck.
Greg
