To add onto WW's description, hold the camera/lens with the lens pointed towards the ground while doing this. You may have to wiggle the lens back and forth a bit to get the pin to drop. This being a Takumar 50/1.4, the auto/manual toggle should be there... Note to self: when I get an *istDS, be careful of this. Especially since I plan on using my 50/1.4 super tak on the camera... -Mat
