kenneth_pelczar Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 <p>I have the Carl Zeiss T* Planar 2.8/80, and I can unmount it from the camera without pressing the lens release button. Has anyone ever experienced this? I can re-mount it with no problem, and when mounted it works fine, but when applying enough torque to the lens (including sometimes moving the focus ring) the lens just comes off of the camera. If anyone's experiences this whats involved in the repair?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Ingold Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 <p>There is a pin in the lens mount that engages a slot in the lens. You should hear it snap into place. The pin may be bent or broken. Otherwise, there may be a misalignment in the coupling which prevents the lens from fully engaging the mount.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglas_fairbank Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 <p>It could also be a very worn lens bayonet, if this is the only lens that has this problem.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stever_max Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 <p>The lens release button <strong>should be used, in fact must be used</strong> to release the lens. Would you want the lens to just twist off??</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
