Assuming it's already installed, when you're looking at the adapter as installed on the camera body, the release tab is inside the narrow rectangular cutout just above the red dot on the body's lens mount. You press it inward a little, that releases the ring to rotate, and then while keeping it depressed, turn the ring CCW until the ring's bayonet tab (presently inside the lens mount) matches up with the relief cutout in the lens mount (about 45°) and just lift it out!
Do it a few times and you'll get the hang of it! <g> keith whaley, Pentaxian Christian Skofteland wrote: > > On Thursday 07 November 2002 16:39, Dan Scott wrote: > > Just got the SOB off with the aid of a pick but I'm not sure how. > > There's tiny little slotted screw and a piece of blued spring steel > > about 5/8ths of an inch long that came out with the mount.
