Subject: [Leica] How to separate 135mm f/4 Elmar-M lens-head?
From: Ray Moth <ray_moth@yahoo.com>

I have recently bought a 135mm f/4 Elmar-M lens, of approximately 1960
vintage. It's the model that followed the 135 Hektor and preceded the
135 Tele-Elmar. My lens is not a telephoto design and, in consequence,
has quite a long barrel. I would like to separate the lens-head from
the barrel so that I can clean the rear element, which is rather dusty.
I understand it should be possible to do this, because the lens was
designed to be usable with a Visoflex. However, I have no idea at which
point the lens-head detaches or how to go about it. Please, can anyone
help?

Regards,
