That's why I went with wax, leaving aside the fact that I've
historically had very little luck with cyanoacrylates. On this lens,
at least, pulling the rear plate off was trivial, which made putting
in wax easy. I have a Pentax 4/50mm macro with the same setup. I'll
have to see what that's like, next.

I generally prefer M42 lenses which have a manual/auto switch, but in a
pinch, I have found that if you push in the pin with a 'pin', and dribble
some crazy glue on it, it works fine (this may affect resale value...)
