Takumar 1.4
can imagine to safely remove
this would be to disassemble to lens until
you could reach the interlock mechanism from inside. I haven't a clue
how to do this since I can see only three
exposed screw heads on the Takumar and these are probably only set
screws holding the DOF scale in place.

The Diaphragm pin is stuck in the AF key.
If you want to save the camera, try forcing the auto manual button to manual

removed. This may, or may not damage the lens. If you

just unscrew and then the adapter should come out.
