The screws come from under the ring around the front element, that has all the bumph on it. It unscrews forward. When you do that, you will see the holes where the screws go. They will fix the ring you are holding on. A spot of nail varnish will hold them in place. Once the varnish dries (a couple of days) you can put the ring back on. > > From: Charles Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2006/07/05 Wed PM 02:01:37 GMT > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> > Subject: "K" 50mm f1.4 lens is coming apart! > > I've got a used Pentax K 50mm f1.4 lens that exhibited weird behavior > last time I pulled it out of the bag. > > The front end of the barrel is loose.
