That's the rascal. I was a bit busy yesterday to look for it. The password needs a capital P. If you look at parts 506, 508 and 509, they are the ones you want to refit, along with the detent ball and spring on the opposite side. They will go in place on the main lens body and the aperture ring will slip over them. If only.... You might as well, at the same time, try to knit a Fair Isle pullover with your toes, cook a Cordon Bleu meal and present a TV programme for all the chance of success you have of assembling at first go. Unless you are the sort of person that everyone hates. Persevere. Sooner or later it will all fall (ha!!) into place. At which point you will dismantle it to make sure. mike ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
