Thanks. That's why I didn't go any further today. I'm waiting on a response from a repairer to see if it's worth paying for. If it's not worth paying for then I'll take it all apart myself.

Thank you Peter. The aperture blades jam the firing mechanism when stopped down. Clearing the jam is only done by pulling the depth of field preview lever which closes the aperture and allows the shutter to fire. Occasionally there's a gap left in the aperture blades when closed however it doesn't always seem to happen strangely.

Thank you Peter,I found out that the front ring came off with force on a thread rather than screws. Yes I got down to the front element but stopped there today, as I didn't have the time to be careful. The issue is a problem with the aperture blades, so I was going in to have a look, but there's also a metallic rattle inside the barrel I was hoping to find and remove it. Dave

Hi all, I've acquired what i believe to be a first series Kowa 6 85mm f2.8 lens in silver. Now obviously being Kowa its not in the best of health. But I did think that the Kowa lenses all had little screws that hold on the front ring. However it appears that the first version doesnt have said screws at all. Has anyone take the front lens ring off this lens without the screws? Many thanks Dave
