<p>Thanks for all the replies! I will try the feeler gauge idea tomorrow, I have a whole collection of those. And I'll try to get a better look from the inside on bulb.</p> <p>Both lens and camera are valued and trusted user gear, each being the "best" of its time, working well (till now) and still holding their own today. The lens is the Tokina-made "Bokina" version, something definitely worth saving! I would hate to damage either . . .</p>

<p>Ok, I've searched, Googled, twisted, and shaken . . . and still can't remove a lens from my wife's trusty FA. The lens is a Vivitar Series 1 90mm 2.5 Macro. The camera body was working fine just prior, and I had removed/replaced the lens several times the same day with no problems. As I was trying to remove the lens, it rotated partially (about 3/4") and then became locked in that position. The posts I've seen regarding this aren't helping.<br> Anyone have a special technique for this, or, a shop I can send it to that will be willing to tackle this? Thanks so much in advance for any replies.</p>
