Why in the world would anyone want to disassemble her or his own lens?  This
sort of question comes up from time to time, and it seems to me that unless
one is trained in the arcana of lens construction and the proper array of
diaphragm blades this is an endeavor best left to those who are.  On the
other hand, those doing the disassembly may consider this a learning
opportunity and have no interest in the quality of the lens once it is more
or less put back together...to those of you I apologize now.

Can anyone assist me in figuring out how to 
completely disassemble my LTM Summarit lens?
I can't figure out how to get the rear elements apart.
there doesn't appear to be any slots to unscrew, etc.
any guidance would be appreciated. If you wish to reply
off list please contact me at gkase1@yahoo.com
