I have a 270mm Rotelar in Graphic shutter that I need
to remove from a Super Graphic board. Can anybody tell
me how. The front element screws out of the shutter
easily. However I need to remove the rear element I
guess to get the lens off the board. At the base of
the rear element there is a recessed ring with 4 small
notches spaced around the outer edge. I assume this is
some type of retaining ring. I have attempted to use a
small screwdriver to push against one of the notches
to make the ring turn. NO LUCK. I don't want to tear
something up. I'm quite adept at that! Is there a
special tool I need and are there any home-brew
remedies? TIA
