<p>The lens base or flange on my 1932 Black Leica II was firmly stuck to the camera body. I have a nickel Elmar 50mm/3.5. I was afraid to turn the lens very hard and shear off the infinity stop. So, I tried the freezer trick and placed the camera in the freezer for about 15 - 20 minutes. I was then able to free the lens and remove it from the camera body. Apparently the differential thermal contractions freed things up.</p><div></div>
How do you remove the lens on a iiic?
