Bad meter coupling lever, I don't want to go all the way and send it to some repair man to do CLA cus it would take at least like a month.

Any tips?

No idea what camera that is, but there's normally a button on the camera near to the lens, where your left thumb is. Hold the button and unscrew the lens.

It's Minolta SRT Super.
The problem seem to be with the body rather than with the lens but i can't unscrew it ...

You misunderstood this is not technology board. This is IT monkeys' board. If you don't want to shit on linux distros/programming languages please leave.

I think so, but sending the to a repair guy just for CLA takes way too long, I'll probably do that as a last resort but for now I need to unscrew the damn thing

while you're correct, it's amusing to me that this "technology" board is so quick to pull the "NO NOT THAT KIND OF TECHNOLOGY" card lol

I mean, it makes me sad too. have you tried looking at the catalog? it sucks. I've got a bunch of threads I started get deleted or moved basically because they were not about computers. some other threads expired with 0 comments because I didn't want to spoonfeed retards.

but again, this isn't the board for helping people fix shit
