Looks like either the detent ball and/or the spring is lodges somewhere and preventing movement. Remove the aperture ring using appropriate force! Try jimmying it from two or three points simoultaneously (an assistant would be useful. Better is a small model-makers vice. Either way, that ring must be separated again to retrieve spring and ball - watch for those suckers as they can go into low Earth orbit ;-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
