[Leica] Leica Long Lenses on Digital Canon SLRs

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas M. Sharp)]

Rick ,
the Novoflex adapter has a small steel pin with a tiny steel cylinder on the 
end 
of it to lever the locking lug out of the lens flange. It is a source of 
endless 
broken finger nails. It sometimes helps to have a small (watchmakers) 
screwdriver in your gadget bag, you slip the blade into the gap between the 
adapter and the flange where the locking lug sits and gently lever the lug 
up 
until it disengages, then you can turn the adapter off the lens.
Hope this helps
Douglas
