Can't give you the exact instructions, but it is not uncommon for the mount to be slightly out of position so removing the mount and re-attaching might just sort it.

This YouTube video might help...

erm.....

Dont have it to hand right now Barrie but will come back with a more detailed description when i see it again.

Think its coming away from the lens and if memory serves theres a rattling noise like something is stuck inside =- bit of plastic or something

Hope someone can shed some light on this...

A few weeks ago I picked up my Tamron Adaptall 90mm 2.5 lens and noticed that it was shooting very slow shutter speeds on my film camera. Wide open at 2.5 the camera would read 1/20th or something like that. On closer examination I discovered that the mount was coming away slightly - a gap appeared between the mount and the lens. I ALMOST threw it away but someone was saying that you can remove the mount and try another?

This is a very fine lens that shines for portrait photography and would be a shame to dump

Can someone tell me what might be wrong or how I go about removing it?

Cheers

A
